School Days & A Dream

It scares me... BUT, I love love love being teacher at home. Educating my children, so far has been one of the biggest delights. We don't know how long this will go, in the formal sense, but for now it is a stage of life I'll enjoy to the fullest. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would want to keep my children home instead of public school AND never in billion years would I have thought that I would truly enjoy it as much as I do and anticipate for now.

I secretly want to be a farmer one day... really. It seems these two worlds of raising families and crops parallel... well, I haven't actually done the crops *yet*. Very humbling it is to be a mother and perhaps more so to be a teacher.... but then again is there really a difference? Farming (I imagine), mothering, teaching... sounds roughly along the same vein.... all needing tending with love, wrapped in service. One cannot compare plant life with human life, but I cannot help noticing the Creator of them both miraculously grow them... while one serves the other, it in turn gets served.

For now, I most evidently realize this miracle...

My children grow toward their Source, the Son, just like plants... all while His servant waters them both.

It scares me, but excites me more.
