The House of Pink
Aug. 22, 2007
Pride and Patience (apologies to Jane Austen)
Pride, oh, how you tempt me.

In the short time I've homeschooled, my near-3yo has sat patiently at the table and done 'school' which was usually a wipe-off alphabet book or a coloring book.

Well, the novelty has worn off, and now she plays.  I am *totally* ok with that, but now I feel really stupid for letting myself think I was SO good at keeping her occupied.  HA!

Patience-
I just saw this scripture on this blog (which, by the way, has gone 'viral' through her e-bay auction):
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
Hebrew 10:36

OUCH.  See how that works?  AFTER I have done the will of God, he'll grant me patience.  Well, shoot.  I need the patience to do it!  (I especially needed the patience this morning during MATH.)  I guess, maybe, the point is that I need *GOD* to do his will, and the patience is a blessing of a different sort.
