A new thought

I am hoping that it is never too late to learn and or teach. It is the middle of August and am prepping for a new school year with the kids. This fall I have 2 collage students, a Senior, a Sophomore and a ( worried chuckle) Kindergartner. As I sat with the kids this week chatting about school and education I began to feel a bit at ease about this adventure that I must embark upon again, teaching a child to read. I was feeling a bit nervous and worried that maybe I could not do this again. The building of a good foundation for each child is of most importance. I often sell myself short when it comes to my abilities and how I see myself. All I really had to do was just look at my 4 other children and know that I never laid my ability down. My husband and myself have been the best first and continuing teachers for our children. I find it interesting that now in my 40's I am finally figuring out who I am. My hearts desire is to not only continue to learn and grow myself but to teach my children to know themselves NOW. Education is not just teaching our children the basic things such as reading and math. It also includes teaching and training them to know themselves. To know the value that they each posses just because the are and to never let anyone or thing take that away from them. It does not really matter how we educate ( home, public, private)  what matters is that we allow our children to know the real value that they each have just because they are living breathing child of God. I am looking forward to a new year where each day is a new adventure fulfilling My Hearts Desire. My prayer for you is that you have the ability to do the same no matter what that desire is.
