From the Mouths of Babes

Just wanted to post a comment from my 4 year old. I was asking her how she is enjoying homeschool now, and she said she likes it a lot. She used to ask to go to school all the time. We recently (I think last week) talked about the golden calf and the Israelites worshipping other than the one true God. She asked me, "Mom, if I was in public school would I have to worship a statue?" Whaaaat? 
She was really concerned. I said no, of course not, but if you were in school you wouldn't be allowed to talk about God or worship Him there. She said she's glad she's in homeschool because she can read the Bible and talk about bible verses.
Also in our homeschool park day last Friday a woman asked her if she's doing preschool. She said, "Yes, I am doing preschool at home and we're doing Little Hands To Heaven. It's Heart of Dakota. I really like it". The lady said, "oh, I've never heard of that, I'll have to look it up"
Though my daughter was being literal in her concern about the idols, because she knows we want her home for a God-honoring education, it made me think about the idols she might learn to worship in school.
Thank you Lord for telling us to keep our kids home! And thanks Carrie and team for making it a joy, apparently at every stage. 
I just thought you might find this amusing.

You're getting a great start with those little sweeties! You will look back and be soooo glad that you've had these precious moments with those girls. Homeschooling isn't always easy, but it is definitely worth it. And, yes, HOD does make it enjoyable at every stage. My oldest especially is soooo glad we found HOD! It's way more fun that what we did before, and there is so much more spiritual depth and oportunities for those eternally significant conversations that I wouldn't trade for anything!
It's times like these that we can impart God's truths to their little hearts and let them see how God is blessing them by allowing them to be homeschooled by their loving mama!
