It had been a beautiful day here on the Jersey Shore, even though it is winter, the sky was glorious and the temperature mild. My boys behavior however was not so mild and it was just one of those days. It happens. Those days when you wonder if you are getting through and what is it all for and why are we doing this thing called homeschooling again?

Getting into the minivan we headed off to our martial arts school which is across town and down a road with very pretty farmland. A field of horses were galloping and the conversation became pleasant, our moods greatly improved, perhaps by the fresh air and change of scenery. One horse in particular was leaping about, and one of my boys commented that it is such a wonderful day that even the horses knew that this is the day that the Lord has made.

Oh, yes, that's why we are homeschooling. Now I remember.
