Sally Clarkson

Posted in On my mind
I was really blessed recently with two of Sally's books Ministry of Motherhood and Mission of Motherhood! Thank you! (you know who you are ) My copies are at home packed away in boxes and these copies came to me via an angel. We all go through those tough times as mums when you are feeling wretched and I hadn't realised how much I had fallen until I started to read the books and be wrapped up in Sally Clarkson's words of encouragement. In all the trying to settle here in Holland I had lost much of my enjoyment of simply being with my children -- sound familiar? Maybe it does and maybe it doesn't and that's ok. How lovely it is to be done with much of that stress and be closer to these little people that Marcel and I have for such a short period of time. And interestingly enough, the closeness to my kids has brought me closer to God my Father who feels these same warm, loving emotions towards us that we feel towards our children. I love that quote that says something like 'love your kids like there is no tomorrow' and isn't this how God loves us, like there is no tomorrow, maybe that's because for Him there is no tomorrow .... only today.

I, too, just love Sally. I had the priviledge of having a dinner w/her at our table at an Ohio homeschool convention (CHEO) a few years ago. Up until last month I had been our county's homeschool coordinator for the past 11 years and our state's convention blessed all the coordinators w/a special dinner w/Sally. What a joy. She IS just what you would expect her to be...calm, bright, humble and godly.

I enjoyed getting to know your blog.

I remember going for a bike ride in Holland and being just about the coldest I think I have ever been. They have pretty cool shoes(clogs) and wonderful cheese(Why am I stating the obvious?).
What an experience for your family,
Blessings from sunny Queensland,
Kym
