So I started sorting and straightening-but soon decided I need to clean out, give away!
Aye! the home school materials that fill the shelves . . .this was good, glad I used it, time to pass it on. . . one end of the middle shelf is lined with black and white journals-my children's school journals. I opened a few, turned the pages, got sentimental. . . repositioned them back on the middle shelf.
And my own journals are there -me always recording words. . .and I lingered awhile over my children's clever and curious words from 20 and 30 years ago. . .In the summer of 1990, Josiah was almost 6 years old, I scribbled his words on a calendar page.
"You know, Mom, God gave me a new heart-I was just like garbage on the road and the Lord chose me, He picked me up and saved me!
and his questions. . .
"was God making hell when He was making the earth?. . .will the animals still be here when God destroys the earth?". . .
and my favorite words. . .
"If I died now I would go to heaven-but what about Mercy?
Josiah and Mercy, summer 2009

love those words. I have journals for each child too, and I need to be better about updating them with their words!..oh and now we know about Mercy!
"The righteous who walks in his integrity, blessed are his children after him.!" Proverbs 20:7
I am glad you repositioned those school journals back on the shelf... perhaps next time I am in SA I will get a chance to flip through a few pages myself and get sentimental too!
