A Quote
"As we read the lives of men and women who have been strategically used by Christ in building His kingdom, we note that the names of those through whom they were brought to faith in Jesus Christ are often forgotten or lost. But their significance is incalculable. God delights to use the hidden and the forgotten. This is, surely, a tremendous encouragement to people like us who live our Christian lives in relative obscurity. We do not expect to find our names in any church history book. And yet, it may be that someone to whom we are kind because we love Jesus will be taken up and extraordinarily used by God to build the church of Jesus Christ. Faithfulness is far more significant than fame when Jesus is building His church."
-Sinclair Ferguson, In The Year Of Our Lord
A Book
I’ve been reading a homeschool book this week called Education: Does God Have An Opinion? By Israel Wayne. I know the title sounds really aggressive, but I’m finding that the book isn’t as harsh as the title sounds. I just started Part Two of the book, and I have a feeling this is where the homeschool gold will be - the author is breaking down each school subject and discussing how it can be taught from a Christian worldview, and how we can point our students back to Christ through every area of study. It’s already given me so much to think about!
A Bit Of Nature
We went on a a nature hike with our good friends last week, and there were so many pretty leaves everywhere!
A Recommendation
I’m going to highly recommend the pumpkin donuts at Dunkin Donuts this week. I snagged one yesterday (there were only two left), and I must say, they do pumpkin donuts right. They're not sickly sweet, but has just the right amount of pumpkin.
A Moment Of Happiness
Yesterday I took my big kids to soccer practice. If you read my post yesterday, you know it was a cold day. I sat huddled in my chair, watching the kids chase the ball around the field, while I drank my coffee and worked on this post. The leaves are finally starting to change in town, splashes of yellow and red against the dark grey of the skies, with the mountains in the background. Even though the air was so brisk and my fingers were almost immediately cold, I have to say, I really enjoyed it all - the shouts of kids in the background, the water trickling in the drains, the smell of wet grass and leaves, and red noses when my kids finished up their practice. What can I say, I’m a cold weather person.
