Awaking Wonder: A Chat in My Library

Some of our most beautiful memories of homeschooling  are snowy Colorado days complete with a cozy fire, a cup of hot chocolate or tea, a great read-aloud,  and my pajama-clad children entering into the worlds of peoples we met through periods of history, rousing tales and dramatic stories of life.

Today, and the next few days, you will hear me and some of my children share about the reality of our own lives through the years. My adult children are quite passionate and convicted about what they think about the education they had as well as having a philosophy of what truly engages a heart, soul and mind.

It has been fun for me to hear them and understand how like minded we are, after all these years together, about the heart of education, the center of discipleship and the forming of life purposes. I hope you will enjoy this and ponder what we say for your own life.

There are many ways to live and a variety of means to educate. I do not think ours is the only good way, but I do believe that God led us to some central issues in understanding the ways to shape home life, and to enflesh a life of faith in and through the moments in our home so that it became a living faith in my own children’s lives.

Enjoy—share it with your friends and listen all week and I think you will indeed find encouragement for your year ahead.
