Have you ever had one of those days where it seems no school can be accomplished? Yes, we went through math and writing, but I felt like I was just going through the motions. I suppose we all have days where we just feel like nothing that we are doing is sinking in with the kids. Felt like they viewed me as the enemy and we are having a stalemate today. So, I surrended, well not surrendered, but fell back. Found myself outside praying, talking to God about this homeschool experience. Went to Him telling Him of what all my kids had not learned, or were not retaining. He spoke to me in that still small voice saying to give them-----get this, more of Him, less of work. More family, less math. So, school is out for the rest of the day, and grace has been extended to the kids and also me!
Thanks for "listening"
