Feb. 7, 2007 - let's try this one more time!
I posted two times yesterday, both of which got knocked out before I was finished...uggh! So...I will make one more try today....let's see how this goes!
What I wanted to share was that last week we were gone for the week to visit family. When we came home, I shared with a friend at church (she used to homeschool, but now teaches at a Christian school) that I don't know why I get so ambitious and pack along our school things...we did nothing! She promptly told me NOT to feel guilty that our children were learning....heritage studies! She reminded me that that was so important....and that I am not on anyone else's schedule (i.e. the public shool system)! I needed that! It is hard for me to de-program myself from thinking things must be done the way "man" has determined....instead of realizing I am doing the best I can for God's glory! The character training is vital.....and I must focus on that more than anything I believe.
Secondly, I was going to share my excitement at finding more gems at the Thrift Store....a complete Unifix cube set with idea books....GREAT books for the kids like...A Child's Garden of Verses (I have been looking for that one for a while!) and it was only 50 cents! A Read Aloud Handbook FULL of excerpts from great stories....Heidi, a set of the Boxcar Children books, some poetry books, and a few great Science books. I was so thrilled! Needless to say, the BOOKS in our house are about to TAKE OVER! HA! But, I personally love books and hope this love carries over to my children. I found the third book in the MITFORD series by Jan Karon a month ago and love it....It is such a sweet and charming little read! If you have not read her series yet...I think most of you would enjoy it greatly for a leisure read!
Okay...I am pushing my luck I am sure so I will close for now and TRY to post this one!
Blessings!

Posted by Anonymous
Greetings, I am going shopping with you next time. I found nothing here two weeks ago when I went out, BUT I need nothing right now. The local used bookstore is having a sale on vintage books and I so want to get over there on Friday if possible. I am glad you are back on the blog I check yours first every morning! Tell all your precious blessings that I miss them! And you also, maybe your dh!! okay, him too!
Have a great day.
