Muckboots n' Aprons: Charlotte Mason Quote

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

Charlotte Mason Quote

I'll leave you with a quote today. I am much too weary to catch anybody up on our lives right now.

"Let children alone -... the education of habit is successful in sofar as it enables the mother to let her children alone, not teasingthem with perpetual commands and directions -- a running fire ofDo and Don’t; but letting them go their own way and grow, havingfirst secured that they will go the right way and grow to fruitfulpurpose."--Charlotte Mason, The Original Homeschooling Series

Just discovered your page today. I love your pictures and your goats are great. I, too, miss riding my horses and am looking forward to returning to Western Washington.
