Thr Fruits of Home Education

The days go by.

We work on spelling, science,

history and more.

At times we wonder if anything we

do means more to our students than

another day to check off their logs.

However, there comes a day when it

all comes together.

This has been a year of many such days

in our lives.

As the children get older and face new

experiences we are able to watch them

put their years of learning to use.

Sometimes it is how they relate to things

at a job or volunteer opportunity.

Sometimes it is just an outpouring of words

in the form of a poem.

Not an assignment.

Just an expression of intense emotion.

There's something about this storm,

that I can not ignore.

This is not the norm,

this is something more.

There's electric in the sky,

there's water on the ground.

There's thunder in the air,

it's beauty all around.

It's like a song

that's playing in my head.

It's like a strong command

that God has clearly said.

Electric beauty

What an incredible sight.

It is still the daytime,

but yet it's dark like night.

It is a symphony

beautifully composed.

it is truly wonder

fantastically exposed.

So, on those days when you feel 

like nothing is sticking.  

Don't quit!

When you are so very  discouraged at the 

progress of your little writers...

hold on!

If one day you feel inadequate...

You aren't!

YOU are making a difference.

YOU are teaching the future.

Be encouraged. 

The future looks good, 

if we judge it by the fruits of your labor!
