A couple of days ago, I assigned my 12 year old a writing assignment. The title was to be My New Life in Tennessee. (I really didn't connect the assignment and what was going on with me, at least not consciously). She wrote the following.
My New Life in Tennessee by ERA
Life is a lot different than when we lived in Florida. Houses are farther apart and your farther from town. We have a lot more trees. I like it better in Tennessee than in Florida. One, it is not so crowded. Two, it is a lot prettier, mountains, wildflowers, and crystal clear lakes. Three, our family isn't split up all the time like we used to be. We are homeschooled, so we get done with school about 12:30, then we do our chores and then sometimes we play outside or read. I love my home in Tennessee.
Although we might need to work on the writing abilities, I am truely amazed at the grateful heart. She is taking what she has and being thankful. I want to do that also.
Until next time..............
You know that goal of "raising daughters who glorify God with their lives"? Well take a look at one who does!!! Em is truly a "woman" after God's own heart. You are doing well my friend!
ReplyDeleteWow! Emily, good job!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I want too, a heart of gratitude and thankfulness for where I am, not where I'm not.
I also agree with the above comment - you're obviously doing something right.
