Thankfully we have access to a good local school which has a Christian ethos. <br /><br />I am filled with huge respect for those who do homeschool, it is surely taking seriously God's command to train up our children in His ways. I pray you have been mightily blessed through your endeavours. <br /><br />Blessings to you.Diana Lovegrovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849754637056012241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606804930984062705.post-35521959372600170192011-02-11T00:27:30.483+00:002011-02-11T00:27:30.483+00:00This is such a touching account!

My son is grown now and living in another state, and my daughter is in her senior year of homeschooling. I have read that book, but it was so long ago. It seems like it was about the Charlotte Mason Method.<br /><br />Enjoy these years...they are so precious!<br /><br />Theresa<br />http://pronetoponder.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606804930984062705.post-37826217889721188062011-02-01T09:56:58.607+00:002011-02-01T09:56:58.607+00:00Hi all - and Ruth, what a lovely surprise to see y...Hi all - and Ruth, what a lovely surprise to see you leave a comment!

Jesus loves the children, and I think I might know why. :-)<br /><br />Most touching, the way you reinforced that whole sweet lesson by going to that wooden cross!<br /><br />"I walked up to the cross and said a silent prayer. My burden was indeed lifted. Harry jumped around in delight." What a beautiful picture.

While Steven & I don't have children of our own, there are many precious little souls in our world and we have been blessed to hear God speaking through them many times in sweet and unexpected providences. May God bless you and Harry (and hubby, too!) and may we all heed the words of our Lord and suffer not the little children!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831822017833351066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606804930984062705.post-70948019933968940102011-01-30T02:43:45.726+00:002011-01-30T02:43:45.726+00:00Now this is precisely what Susan Schaeffer Macaula...Now this is precisely what Susan Schaeffer Macaulay is talking about...giving your child the certain dignity to actually be powerful enough to teach you a thing or two, and mean it!<br /><br />What's so beautiful is that although you had already dealt with the matter in private prayer, you gave Harry a visual feast in seeing you "go to the cross." <br /><br />While it's true that children have the capacity to grasp deep truths, hey need it to be shown to them in concrete ways. <br /><br />Bravo, Mom.<br /><br />Love,<br />-EAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606804930984062705.post-34193725134450406152011-01-30T01:02:56.162+00:002011-01-30T01:02:56.162+00:00This made my day!

It was such a treat to think about Harry jumping around with Joy for the Lord. I really feel so blessed to be allowed a little glimpse of the bond shared between you and your Son. Amen Harry!Teresahttp://musicfrombrokenchords.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7606804930984062705.post-86328532702191479552011-01-29T22:53:52.496+00:002011-01-29T22:53:52.496+00:00"Train up a child in the way he should go: an..."Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6<br /><br />What a lovely bond you share with your son, Diana, both as mother and child and as children of God. It speaks well of your relationship that you were able to not only share in such a moment but to also carry it out at Harry's suggestion, upon seeing the cross. I love your last paragraph and the wonderful visual it created for us all; and then, too, your last sentences, "My burden was indeed lifted. Harry jumped around in delight." I could not only picture it quite vividly but I felt so uplifted as if I should be jumping around in delight too! Thank you very much for sharing this honest and beautiful narrative from your daily walk! I greatly appreciate it!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374280055599683483noreply@blogger.com
