Homeschooling Update

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

We’re really enjoying our studies right now. As we continue reading the Little House series, we are very much appreciative of the warm house that we live in. We’re glad for electricity, running water, and stocked grocery stores. We’re glad that we have warm clothes that don’t need to be patched again and again. We’re glad that we don’t have to twist hay into hay sticks to burn for heat and cooking because there is nothing else to heat the house.

John 15: 12-14 Munchkin learned this scripture passage this week. She really liked verse 13 and referred to it as the Marine verse. God gave us a wonderful example of perfect love when He gave us His son. Now, we need to be willing to share that same type of love with others…
