If Elijah went to school…

August 30, 2007 by ami 1 Comment

I was walking today with the boys, and I couldn’t help but wonder what if…he went to school…

Would we go on nature walks?

Would he still want to hold my hand?

Would he know what a proboscis is?

Would we have five chrysalises in our house?

Would I have the energy to read him chapter books each night after dinner, after housework, after homework?

Who would make Simon laugh?

Would Simon be learning so much?

Would I be learning so much?

Would he be hiding God’s Word in his heart?

Would we be hiding God’s Word in our hearts together?

I’m so thankful he’s here; it’s not always peachy-easy, but it’s a gift.

    Ami, this is SO true. I love your entry today. I get sooooo sentimental about all these wonderful memories we are making with our children. I only hope that THEY look back as fondly as we are, LOL! Oh, and great garage sale finds! That is my kind of day!
