We've heard so much about 2020 being a year of craziness. In fact, it is now synonymous.
So many can't wait for the year to be over. As if the moment the year turns all the troubles of the world will be gone. They want to forget this year even existed. After all, it has caused nothing but problems, right?

Y’all, very few understand how deep a hold teaching has in my heart. I am extremely passionate about early-childhood education, especially. I strongly believe that the early years of schooling are the most important for a child. They are the foundation for the rest of their life. You can build strong, motivated learners, or you can create passive, frustrated, “average” students early on. Certainly, there is always opportunities for improvement, but once they’re in high school, there is not time to build a strong foundation in whatever subject that is lacking. It then becomes more about getting them to graduation. While early childhood education is their springboard for their middle school, high school, and/or college years
. You can’t learn geometry until you have first mastered the basics of addition. You cannot excel in Spanish I until you first have a solid grasp of English Grammar. You cannot learn World Geography until you could tell me what state you live in. You can’t do any of that until you learn to read and write your name. That is just one reason why I strongly believe that these years are the most important years. The season of thanksgiving. From the sight of the photo, some would probably say we are skipping it all together. That's okay. I grew up in a no-Christmas-till-after-thanksgiving crew myself. That is just not something that works for our family in this season of life, and I am grateful that we have learned to modify "traditions" to fit us.
"Growing up, I wanted to be the good kid. The best kid, even. My goal was always to please, and long before I met Jesus, it seems I was already bent toward seeking to earn God’s favor because I was able to earn the favor of others in the same way. I was a good kid, but I wasn’t a godly kid. In our driven-by-behavior world, it’s easy to train kids to do rather than be, to ascribe value by a child’s behavior rather than their status as a child of the Most High God. For example, the conversations we have with our kids and about our kids tend to center around behavior." - M. Wiley Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right. Prov. 20.11 |
