The Better Part: the weather was so bad today even the homeschool kids stayed home

the weather was so bad today even the homeschool kids stayed home

Not the book.

This little gadget!

Reading timers! LOVE them!

(I got one for each of my readers at Borders using my 25% teacher discount

AND the 33% coupon they emailed me. Score!)

This is Jack doing a worksheet for Saxon Math. He loves it! This one actually revealed a cool pattern showing us the relationship between numbers in a certain fact family.

I must say, I like 4th/5th grade math much more now than when I was in 4th/5th grade.

SCIENCE!

(Isn't he cute! The cuteness quotient in our gene pool is astronomical!)

Swimming Creatures of the 5th Day!

Andrew. Reading.

That's a good book by the way.

I couldn't pass this one up.

Somebody strongly dislikes being called cute.

But. He is.

See!

We just brought the 3 Little Wolves book home from my MIL's. The boys love it and have to read it everytime we go there. (That and the Stinky Cheese Man)

Awww. Your kids are cute. I almost bought one of those timers at the beginning of the year. I was trying to get my youngest to read. I am happy to say, she had taken off on reading and I didn't need to buy a timer. :) She's in fourth grade and decided to have a hard head about reading. LOL

Those books look so cute. I am going to check out the younger ones, for my nieces.

and this is my blog, The Better Part!

I’m looking for encouragement everyday. I think we all are! So here’s my offering to you: encouragement in wholeheartedly pursuing your unique calling and purpose that comes out of a vibrant relationship with Jesus. Women who are loving others out of this kind of life in Christ are changing the world! Sharing our stories connects us. That connection is like deep calling to deep and iron sharpening iron.

So many of us miss opportunities to extend the love of Christ by missing moments of our ordinary days that are the real and better part. Jesus encourages us to forget about fussing over things that do not matter and take hold of what cannot be taken away, and that thing that cannot be taken is a vibrant, thriving, authentic life in Him. So let’s live fully alive and purposed in all of life!

Luke 10:41,42 "...you’re fussing far too much and getting yourself worked up over nothing. One thing only is essential, and Mary has chosen it—it’s the main course, and won’t be taken from her.”
