Portrait Of A Mother and Daughter Reading A Book
by Edwin Harris



MY MOTHER~MY TEACHER

A mother teaches kindness
by being thoughtful and gracious.

A mother teaches patience
by being gentle and understanding,
not once, but over and over.

A mother teaches humility
by serving her family and friends
without thought of return.

A mother teaches courage
by facing life with a faith in God
that overcomes every circumstance.

A mother teaches love
with a gentle touch and warm embrace
and a soft smile that brightens each moment.

A mother teaches each child
by her godly example.

I'm a very happily married pastor's wife, former schoolteacher-turned-homeschool mom of six wonderful blessings, and freelance writer--and we live in the great state of Georgia! I'm a southern girl through and through...but most importantly, I'm a child of the King! We have just finished up our twelfth year of homeschooling, and our two oldest have now graduated! This is my place to record thoughts about homemaking, Classical-Charlotte Mason based homeschooling, writing around the fringes of family life, and more...so welcome to my little corner of the world!
