For today's meme we are to post our thoughts on the following quote:
“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”
~Tom Bodett
All through the Bible we find examples of how God tested His people. I believe that is when we grow and learn the most -- during the times of testing. I know personally I have learned many lessons through my times of testing. And those lessons stick with me. A wonderful benefit of homeschooling is that our "school" is just another part of life. To our kids, life and school go hand in hand. They are not separate. It is simply our family routine. Another lesson God is teaching me!
I agree wholeheartedly! Those God lessons sometimes hurt, ouch, sometimes I wish He'd just give me a pencil and paper test. LOL Very good observation about the homeschooling life, it all goes hand in hand, for me that's part of the beauty of it. I'm learning this too! The more I try to seperate the two, the more we struggle.
Welcome to our blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. We are a homeschooling family of 5. Our approach is eclectic, but leaning more and more towards Charlotte Mason. Our girls are 9, 7, and 4. Never a dull moment as we desire to teach our girls in the ways of the Lord.
