We are really enjoying school time. Yes, at 5 and 3 my kids think school is one of the best things in the world…so when we get a chance to stay home for the day we pull out the scholastics. Taking all the advantage out of their love for learning while we have it! Jack soaks up the one on one time and is learning so fast. We are trying to get Ben and Sam to sound out words and read a little. They start K5 in just 4 weeks! Crazy, I know. They are so funny. They CAN sound out most words, but try to take the easy way out by looking at pictures of what the characters are doing in the book. Really funny! Today we started our letter C week. We come up with and sound out words that begin with that letter, do a letter C craft (today’s found here) and learn a Scripture that begins with the letter C.
Even through this little practice, God speaks volumes. Not only does it helps me memorize the scriptures with them and teach scriptural life lessons throughout the week, but the scriptures are so timely it is unreal! Recently in our church family, there have been so many hurting. People going through so much. My heart has been so heavy for each of them. But then today, the letter C brought us this:
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
He is so good. All we must do is go to his throne. I stand in the gap for those hurting, those weak and burdened today. May they find rest in Him. He is so sovereign. Even through school time!
