 Hey Mama,

We’ve been on the road since for what seems like forever, and it will be a while before we get back home. Although we haven’t done “schooling” in the traditional sense, the kids are learning. They’re learning about flying (Julia went up in a glider for her first flight lesson and got to pilot the plane). They’ve seen some interesting places and learned some geography. Paul bought Sani (6) her first road atlas and has been going over how that works and has been showing her some of our route. Chloe (3) has been using the iPad for her schooling; we have some educational apps. Sani, too, has been using the iPad (her reading app). We also love to sing in the van together, which is Chloe’s favorite part of any ride. And there’s been a lot of character training going on–there has to be with five kids and two adults in one van. (Grin.)

Mama, here are some thoughts about training.

Psalm 32:1 says “How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered!”

Mama, that is you. And you are training up your children in the Lord, just as you are supposed to be doing–at home and on the go. God’s word is the authority by which you live, and your children see you modeling this. Are you perfect? Are they perfect? No, only the Lord is, but He is always pruning, refining, shaping and changing us to be more like Him.

Keep walking, Mama. You are forgiven! His grace covers you because you have made Him Lord of your life.

Daughter of the King: Look up and literally FEEL the hope that is within you. It is yours, and He will never leave or forsake you. Take hold of that; His hand is on your head today.

–Charlene

Brandon, FL

“I look forward to THM every Wednesday. I really enjoy Deborah’s articles. For some reason, it must be God, she always writes about what I am needing to hear. Her ability to put scripture and God in the middle of all her articles keeps me coming back. I recently have been enjoying the Youngs’ [articles] because I have a young man (10) in my house. The encouragement of the Youngs is fabulous. I thank God for parents like them that pave the way for parents like myself and my husband.”

–Racheal Fowler

“Thanks ever so much. I love the encouraging articles! I really loved the list of 25 all in one place. Nice to have this little bit of “free” encouragement in my mail. I don’t have funds to subscribe or purchase frills and with also working more than half time I don’t have time to search it out. May God bless you exceedingly.”

–Teresa, rural Kansas

“I absolutely love Todd’s column. He always seems to put things in the proper perspective, and it keeps me from getting all stressed and anxious. Thanks Todd, and thanks TOS!!”
