I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth... 3 John 1:4
May. 17, 2007
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together....
Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised; and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25
Ahhh, today was a glorious day! After thunderstorms, high winds, and heavy rains yesterday, we were blessed with a peaceful, sunny day today. I was able to get together with some fellow homeschoolers and go to the local State Park. In total, there were 7 adults, and 17 children. Sound like chaos? Not at all! Though there were many public school field trips today, with children running here and there, our group was well mannered, and a pleasure to be around. The older ones were helping the little ones. One Mom held another's child while the other Mother wiped a nose, tied a shoe, or took someone to the potty. Cooperation was one of the group's many strong points today.
As I read the verse above, I think of my fellow homeschoolers. Too many times we get wrapped up in the "busy"ness of our days, that we forget to 'assemble ourselves together' with those who most need us... other homeschoolers. We don't have to be "Lone Rangers" in our quest to homeschool. I treasure times with my friends and their families. It is a time of refreshing and rejuvenation for both me and my children.
Let's exhort one another, let's provoke one another unto love and good works. Let's be a support for those around us. Treasure the times you have together. Make time for MORE of those times. Appreciate your homeschool friends. I know I do, and I thank God upon every remembrance of them. |

May. 18, 2007 - Amen!
I have not forgotten about getting the information to you for changing your blog picture. Please forgive me for not getting back to you in a timely manner, but my dear computer helper has been swamped with her schoolwork this week. Sometimes it is hard for her to even get a few minutes away from all the studying to ride her horse. (The love of her life!) Thanks for your patience, and I will get back to you again soon.
Have a delightful Friday!
