You know how you're on another friends blog site and you look at their blog following link and then click away- and before you know it an hour has passed?! Anyway! I stumbled onto this blog and have really enjoyed visiting it. She's a mom of 6 in Canada with a sincere relationship with the Lord. I was reading one of her latest entries about homeschooling and thought I'd share a bit of what she has to say about living life:
"For us that means living:
Authentically.
Live your life. Invite your children to join you! Read together. Pray together. Sing together. Work, bake, garden, chore, clean, sew, fix, build together. Don't fabricate artificial demarcation lines between schooling and living. Live a one-piece life. Live holistically.
Joyfully.
Explore! Be awed by His World! Restore Wonder! Be a creative, thinking, exuberant person who spills with the joy of learning. Your zest for learning and life will be contagious--the children will catch it!
Curiously.
Read, read, read. Fill the house with library books. Play classical music. Post the art of the masters about the house. Go for walks in the woods. Learn a new language, a new culture, a new poem. Everyday set out to discover again, and again, and again. The whole earth is full of His glory! Go seek His face...
Consistently.
Consistently pray. Consistently read. Consistently keep the routine. Consistently live an everyday liturgy.Children thrive in routine. So do households. Have hardstops: times that you fully stop to pray, to read, to write. Regardless of what isn't done, what isn't finished. Make a full stop, do the needful thing, then return to meals, laundry, household management.
Consistently be consistent."
