Thankful for HOD

Not sure that I am going to make it on tomorrow, so I wanted to go ahead and leave this today. Our family is so thankful for the Austins, Julie, and the HOD curriculum. This is our fourth year using HOD and it has totally changed our homeschool life. Love that there is no more planning, just enjoying, and Carrie plans everything better than I ever could anyway. I know it is a HUGE sacrifice of time among other things to do what you all do and just want you to know that I am grateful. As my dh has said, HOD really isn't just a business, but a ministry. Thanks for ministering to our family. Praying for you all.

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you HOD, all involved.

I read a book titled "Doing business God's way" a few years ago and Heart of Dakota kept coming to mind. You said it, they truly ARE a ministry first, a business second. They do things the Kingdom Way.

What a thoughtful post! We do try to do business God's way. Mike, Carrie's husband, is an amazing leader in so many ways, but my favorite is his heart for leading HOD in a humble, God-honoring, giving, patient, loving way. Carrie shares this mindset, and that together creates the means to 'doing business God's way' - as you wisely said. Thank you so much for your kind words here, raindrops!!!

In Christ,
Julie
