Homeschooling: A Family’s Journey

We started the day with a pleasant chat with Dr. Alvin Augustus Jones. He began by asking about our initial quotation from Mother Teresa “We have done so much for so long with so little, that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing,” and why we had chosen this. The spirit is so close to us that it was difficult to explain at first. Given that the Missionaries of Charity have a house in Plainfield, just blocks from where we were living, their way of life was a fact of life for us. Mother Teresa’s words sum up our experience in home schooling, too. Whether homeschoolers feel overextended financially. temporally, or intellectually, Mother Teresa’s example can help one persevere.

Outside our window this morning, a red cardinal plays hide and seek among the red leaves scattered on the first tree to turn. Every year, this tree is first to turn. Enjoy the day.
