There is a lot of wisdom in these words Kim, and I'm pretty sure they will be the ones who reap the reward of your time, love, effort, and probably tears, but for sure the joy it has brought to all of you. You've done such a great job.http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-817267831846572522013-09-09T16:58:42.024-07:002013-09-09T16:58:42.024-07:00You are such a rock for your family Kim, and you o...You are such a rock for your family Kim, and you obviously did a great job for 25 years.

I've kept on reading my books, and I feel like even if I don't quite understand how to put these concepts into practice, they help me be more patient and kind.

You will continue to reap many more rewards, as the baton has been taken and carried on. I know if I was a mom with school age children today I would home school them, I have so much admiration for those who make daily sacrifices to home school their children. So I am applauding you for your devotion to those years of teaching, and to those who are beginning. Your girls are blessed to have you to encourage them and tell them they too can make it, and that they too will reap many dividends of their investments. <br />Hugs,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-88488854930498112912013-09-09T11:01:40.726-07:002013-09-09T11:01:40.726-07:00I didn't have time to read this until just now...I didn't have time to read this until just now, after school.

I really needed it and it was encouraging and a good reminder to teach by example.

We are entering our 3rd year of homeschooling, and it is a challenge to work with the older 2 while keeping the babies busy/not crying. Today was not the prettiest. But! We wouldn't trade it for anything else :) God is good. Thank you for these words of encouragement (for your family but I took some too!).Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151316366862075643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-38489996889873047482013-09-09T10:04:50.981-07:002013-09-09T10:04:50.981-07:00From the heart...beautiful and meaningful words. ...From the heart...beautiful and meaningful words. xoJacque.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11171878615414692923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-44804328923260162952013-09-09T09:11:22.160-07:002013-09-09T09:11:22.160-07:00I think we can all learn a lesson from you.
