Promising Thoughts...
|
Homeschooling is not a perfect science. What matters most is that we see our children, that they feel our affections, and hear our praises. These virtues, if practiced everyday, cover our own weaknesses, shortcomings and imperfections as parents, and puts the "duty" of home eduction in proper perspective. -david

Promising Scriptures...
| Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
- Ephesians 3:20-21 |

Greetings!
I started this newsletter about 3 or 4 times. I thought about sharing some information about testing, or learning styles, or scheduling. But nothing seemed to feel right. Then I remembered how, when we get this far into the school year, we all just need something promising. Hope this helps you as much as it has helped me today. :-)
In your service,
David Parkerson

"When you are going through the tough, crazy times and feel you're in survival mode, look for God's affirmation and grace for your homeschool. It's always there if you just look for it. God loves all of us so much and has a wonderful plan for our families. Trust Him to lead you through the tough times, even when things aren't the way you hoped. Don't focus too much on what you aren't getting done or give in to discouragement. Keep things in perspective. While academics are certainly important, eternity is the most important. God sees the big picture and is in control. His grace can cover all of our mistakes or shortcomings. Ultimately He is actually the one doing the work and has promised to complete it. As your children watch you walk in faith, they will learn to walk in faith as well. Isn't that yet another wonderful affirmation of homeschooling?" Read More...

"There is no perfect child, perfect home, perfect mom, or perfect family. I read once that "comparison is the death of contentment" and have tried to live my life accordingly ever since. The reality is we are all just doing the best we can every day - offering our meager efforts up to the Lord and allowing Him to multiply them beyond what we can ask or imagine. When we live life in this fashion, He shows up, takes our hand, and gently leads us down this path He has called us to." Read more...
