I certainly need to prayerfully ask the Lord the parenting "hows" in my family in its new season. I find it more and more humbling as the children grow up, because young adults chose so much for themselves - it has to be 'hidden' parenting!Nadenehttp://practicalpages.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-90669753611541351722013-01-30T19:33:25.022-08:002013-01-30T19:33:25.022-08:00Oooooo...how neat about your home!

Wish I lived a bit closer and could join in the conversation and fellowship over these thoughts at your next meeting! Thank you for linking to the poem, it is beautiful. :)<br /><br />Stay warm!!<br />~Tina<br />Oh--the postcard is also beautiful!! How fun to hold a piece of the past that is your present!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431634906196322951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-62530163928180097052013-01-23T18:56:05.788-08:002013-01-23T18:56:05.788-08:00Hi, Heidi! I have been reading Vol. 3 and in the ...Hi, Heidi! I have been reading Vol. 3 and in the preface and on the first page (no page number) is the quote about the house foundation. The other quotes are all from p. 24 of Vol. 3. I think she fully develops her thoughts about authority and docility in this volume. What I think she is getting at (and I could be wrong!) is that just as we don't leave the crude foundation exposed - we plant around it, paint it, etc. - so that it will be protected from varmints, appear pleasing to the eye and just doing its job - so with authority and docility they need to be in place and understood by everyone in the family and school. No showing off our authority or demanding docility - it should be running correctly and ever-present but not on display. We get to talk about the details at our next support group mtg. I want to know what you think she means!Nancy Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02574031101073589680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-71476136299522914652013-01-23T18:40:33.043-08:002013-01-23T18:40:33.043-08:00Thanks!

Charlotte's words : continual self-denial, self-repression, self-sacrifice: ARE SO TRUE. Actually, I've never asked myself or the Lord that question. <br />I always asked for help with parenting.
