It's Christmastime

It's Christmastime, the tree is up, the stockings are out, and some toys are newly purchased and yes we are playing early and celebrating. It's that time of year. Do we seem to focus on Jesus the true reason we put up decorations, celebrating his coming to earth in man form, a baby. What Mary must of felt, and Joseph, the wonder of it all is still there today. I look at my precious kids, all in different stages of life and hope and pray that they carry this love of God with them and want to live for Him.

What are they learning this time of year, the end of one semester going into another, I pay for two girls to attend a private school to prepare them for life. The attend two days a week but one day is a work day for the oldest.....it's worth the financial strain and I enjoy seeing them go off and leave the house. I am not a firm homeschooler, but have stumbled on this way of life by accident, or more divine guidance. To be honest it's a stretch. I do feel it is beneficial to our family.

My sons have chosen to study their Bible Quizzing material today, determined to do better this next meet. This is what life provides while homeschooling a chance to focus on different things.
