When skies are grey and cold winds whistle outside, even the cheeriest of homeschools can get a little gloomy. Cabin fever combined with too much togetherness causes crankiness. Children whine and fuss, and you wonder whether homeschooling was really such a great idea. Before winter casts a shadow on your school, consider spending some time in the book of Philippians.

Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6  God has begun His work in our lives and our children’s lives. He will complete it. We don’t have to carry the burden of making our children “turn out” a certain way. It’s His job. So there is no need to accept pressure to make our schools conform to a worldly idea of education. Relax and teach your children joyfully. Give yourself permission to plan something just for fun to break up long winter days. More on this theme next time.
