plastic to the skulls,
away rolled the Homeschool on two wheels.
To the park for sun and shady lunch,
sharing,
vitamin D,
and a life lesson in the fallen world...
Really, the Homeschool can't go ANYWHERE and NOT see someone who needs God's love. And the woman sleeping on the park bench in midday was no different. It's the love on the face of Student that draws up the desire in Teacher to want to share His love with a sleeping stranger.
After offering her a lemonade, she asked if we had a cigarette and replied no and blessed her day as we rode away. It was the LOSS OF LOVE in Student's face that taught the lesson today. What a fallen world gives is rarely loving, or thankfulness to those who show His love. But this should be a reminder that we don't GIVE to show others how good WE are, but to show others how good God is. Even if they don't want what we are offering, or snicker at our gestures...God is love. And without His presence in this fallen world, it would be uglier. Godbless that servant heart of Student.
Rolling along to the library and seatwork before Warrior's nap, the naptime mystery read was well received by Warrior. And why not, why not feel loved at home rather than at a public place. May we offer the love that God would have us offer our children: unconditional and never-ending. Amen.
