The end is in sight, but the best days are yet to come!!

Each day is a blessing. It really is. Of course there are days (sometimes too many) that don't necessarily FEEL like a blessing. The Bible tells us "this is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it" So, even when I'm blue, even when others disappoint me, even when I disappoint me by doing or something stupid or just plain wrong, I am to rejoice in this day. It helps to keep my perspective in the right place and remember this.

As the years move on, I can get a bit blue thinking that the end of our homeschool journey is nearing. It seems as though I can see the end in sight. Less than 2 1/2 years from now, my youngest will graduate. It all seems so impossible that time could have gone by so fast. I have so enjoyed homeschooling my children. Even the toughest days the Lord used to grow and mature me. I look forward to the next season in my life and am so excited and pleased with what the Lord is doing in my son's lives, but I will miss the homeschooling - the closeness and times together we have shared. Thankfully they are not gone YET and I do have a couple more years!

Well, as the sun struggles to shine thru the clouds on this cold and windy day, I will keep reminding myself to rejoice!! -- after all the Lord made this day!!

About Me

The years have slipped bye so quickly. It seems as though it was just yesterday we were starting out homeschooling with a six year old and a 3 year old. Now my sons are 21 and 18 and this is my last year of homeschooling. A new season in life is ahead ~ the best is yet to come.
