Thanks to Mike V. for posting this in the tmahomeschool yahoogroup!  It's an incredible video about the relationship between a father and son.... and God's relationship with us.  Yes, the father in the video is commendable, but Mike is so right in saying that "God is more to us than this."  So, so, so much more!

There are days when I think our homeschooling is not going anywhere...I've been going through more of those days lately since my helpers left us over three weeks now.  I am truly in awe of moms who homeschool and do everything else the family needs at home - cooking, dishwashing, cleaning, tending to the younger children, etc.  As expected, our homeschool is delayed due to my inability to cope with everything that needs to be done in a day.  Aargh!
Just when I begin to grumble & worry about all this, the Lord reminds me that I CAN do it through this video.  In relation to that, I'm also reminded of something I learned from a book called "Lies Women Believe" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss.  There IS time in every day to do every thing that God wants me to do.  Obviously, homemaking & homeschooling are tops on my "To-Do" list.  If anything else comes up besides those two, & I run out of time, then those "To-Dos" will just have to wait till tomorrow.  No worries!  God, you are SO GOOD! =)
