Practicing the Presence of God

He is always near you and with you. Do not leave Him by Himself. You would think it uncivil to leave a friend by himself who was visiting you. Why abandon God and leave Him by Himself? ~Brother Lawrence

A Book of Centuries

Each year the kids are creating more and more books as they learn. Making books has become their favorite school activity.

They each started their Book of Centuries several years ago and have continued adding to them as they read. Some of the entries are drawn and some are pasted onto the page. Narrations are also included. Here are a few samples.

What great pictures! We use a Book of Centuries too. In fact, I made a template to help other moms save time and get started. It's posted on my website at http://simplycharlottemason.com/timesavers/boc/

I love the wholesomeness of your blog. I love how the picture of your sweet baby was the first thing that caught my eye and then I saw the sweet faces of the rest of your several children and then I saw some great notable quotes that can inspire. I can tell you're a hardworking homeschooling Mom.

Friendship

“Oh, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pour them all out, as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.” Dinah Mulock Craik

Thoughtful Quote

Then, without realizing it, you try to improve yourself at the start of each new day; of course, you achieve quite a lot in the course of time. Anyone can do this, it costs nothing and is certainly very helpful. Whoever doesn't know it must learn and find by experience that a quiet conscience makes one strong. ~Anne Frank

Wisdom of the Saints

The goal of all our undertakings should be not so much a task perfectly completed as the accomplishment of the will of God. ~St Therese of the Child Jesus

Mother Teresa Quote

Thoughtfulness is the beginning of great sanctity. If you learn this art of being thoughtful, you will become more and more Christlike, for His heart was meek and always thought of others.
