Trying to pick out some meaningful quotes from the first half of this book (Teaching From Rest) but I can't really narrow it down.
It's filled with sweet truths and encouragement.
I have a favorite book on homeschooling.
Some days I actually go into my laundry room, close the door tight, and flip quickly through to the highlighted sections, just to refuel.
Sometimes there are tears involved.
I think this one is becoming a quick favorite as well...
"No task is too trivial, no assignment too small. Educating our
children is an offering of love we make to the God who was so gracious to
bestow them upon us in the first place. Every moment of the daily grind
in raising and teaching and loving on them is hallowed, because we do it
for Him and because there would be no point of doing it without Him."-Teaching from Rest
"Surrender your idea of what an ideal homeschool day should look like and take on, with both hands, the day that is." -Teaching from Rest
"Peace comes from recognizing that our real task is to wake up each day
and get our marching orders from God. It comes from diligence to the
work He hands us, but diligence infused with faith, with resting in God’s
promises to guide..." -Teaching from Rest
"The great thing, if one can, is to stop regarding all the unpleasant things as interruptions of one's 'own' or 'real' life. The truth is of course that what one calls the interruptions are precisely one's real life-the life God is sending one day by day. What one calls one's real life is a phantom of ones's own imagination." -C.S Lewis
"Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, and a life." —Charlotte Mason, A Philosophy of Education
"We can’t really rest in God’s care until we trust that He will indeed care
for us" -Teaching from Rest
"Before we attempt to live a day well, teach our children, or tackle our to-dos, first we put the whole thing at His feet. We beg God to use us to fulfill His purpose, and then we see that every frustration in the day ahead is an answer to that very prayer." -Teaching from Rest
