how to teach my kid to practice being Still and quiet during Prayers and Services? he's always moving...
We'll probably be working on being still and quiet for the rest of our days, Yunie! There is never a time when they have been perfect, but they are still little!
Looks like a great month ahead!
I always love your "living and learning" for the month! It is so inspiring. Maybe I've said this before but I really out to make a list like this!
I've often thought about reviving "Baking Day, Cleaning Day", etc. I love that idea but can't figure out how to make it work when each day needs to start with 3+ hours of learning.
My husband is a James' (brother of our Lord) but that is the 23rd. Is there a James on the 22nd or is that a typo?
Have a wonderful month of living and learning!
