It's a long story really, how we've ended up with a parakeet named Sunshine, but nevertheless, we have.
And, since I'm in the business of trying to make schoolwork exciting...Sunshine became our source of inspiration today.
Yay Sunshine!!
If I'm completely honest with myself, this project was more fun for the kids than for Mom who had ample opportunity to practice the fruit of the Spirit...patience. I mean, let's face it, when you get toddlers involved in the big kid stuff it's really just a set up for sanctification. Fortunately, I view this as a plus...and memories are always selective. ;)
"The fruit of the Spirit is...patience."
Galatians 5:22
It was a joy, however, to see the kids use their artistic and writing skills to document a moment in time.
After all, "they've always wanted to have a bird!"
Good ol' Sunshine provided just the subject matter we needed for our art binders today...
...and how I LOVE homeschool! :)
...and these silly, loveable kids!!!
"Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"
Matthew 6:26
