…for every moment. Every joy. Every pain. Every smile. Every tear. Giving thanks…in everything, give thanks.
beautiful ballerinas
dance as worship
hands raised in praise
little girls floating on stage
music that stirs the soul
the perseverance of a child
persistence
learning from my children, time and time again
softly spoken conviction
teddy bears that make me smile
Hannah asking if she can make more teddy bears for children in Haiti
coming to the close of a wonderful year of school
trying to be thankful for the good, the bad and the ugly of our school year 🙂
books that challenge and convict me, even through the 4th reading
wishing to purchase a new book, making the decision to put it back on the shelf at the store…and then coming home to find it for free the next day.
reading through that new book in just a few short days. so very good and encouraging for anyone struggling…
several days of success with our new math program!
rain
hearing the birds chirping through open windows
a great morning of school with the kids (last week was a bust as I was sick!)
getting started with this new book with Bloom (and the big THANK YOU goes to YOU who helped me pay for this book! Because you have purchased a few things from links on my blog over the past few months, I was able to make my first purchase with an amazon gift card! BIG THANKS to each of you for helping me out in this way!!)

Hi Candace. I have known you for yrs. through Homeschoolblogger (SchoolinRhome) even though I no longer blog there. I am also a FB friend. Anyway, I just read a wonderful book with my daughters (they are older than yours) but it is a book I think you’d love to have for them when they are older. We don’t “dance” as in lessons, etc but the book was so good as the dance is a metaphor for life. Anyway, It is called The Divine Dance by Shannon Kuiak Primicerio. It is geared for the teen girl. We enojoyed it and talking together through it.
