Happy New Year from Me & My House!
2010 closed with many “life lessons” rather than book lessons here, yet learning just the same. I am excited though to get back to the adventures of worlds beyond ours that we left between the pages. Though books hold no sway over life’s lessons, they expand our world and our lessons in ways only they can. I am eager to return to them, and let life’s lessons be more peaceful and quiet in days to come. (Death has a way of not endearing you to continuing, intense life lessons.)
With life’s lessons as the underpinnings of all our days, that hold them together in meaning and application, may book lessons form the outer skirts, ever enlarging and expanding our coverage, while held securely by those underpinnings.
Not that our enlarging and expanding won’t be through many life lessons we already know are coming our way in 2011. And not that those lessons will be peaceful and quiet. 🙂 But a mom can dream of such. Our world will expand by at least 3 this coming year, and their events will all hold their own lessons for us. Books will take their proper place, to be opened and enjoyed, but not to supplant those lessons life brings on its way. (Here on the first day of the New Year, we look forward to 2 babies and a wedding in 2011. How’s that for a fresh start?!)
I look forward to sharing our Lifestyle Education through Discipleship™ lessons – from both books and life – with you again this year.
May your life be filled with lessons too, as you walk this journey toward God’s Wisdom – learned from life and books – in 2011.
