Have you read the book "One Hundred and One's Devotions for Homeschool Moms?" If you haven't, then you're missing out on a blessing! This book was written by Jackie Wellwood, home schooling mom of 7, for the past 10 years. This is a wonderful devotional for home schooling moms who want to start their day with the Lord. One Hundred and One More Devotions for Homeschool Moms, is a sequel to her first devotional.
As she writes, "There are days when knowing you're not alone"-knowing that somebody understands both the frustrations and the joys that you face as a homeschooling mom-is the only thing that helps you through. There are days when nobody understands the encouragement you need quite like another homeschooler. "
In her books, Jackie starts each devotion with a short scripture, followed.now by a two-page, devotion, relating to that Scripture. At the end of the devotion she offers a prayer, and the a small section called "Food For Thought." This section has 3 questions for you to think and ponder on throughout the day, and for you to answer.
There are some ddominant themes in this book such as being a good example to our children, relating properly to our husbands, trusting in the Lord for provision, taming our tongue, and the value of the character training.
As she says in her book, "I have been transparent in this book in much the same way I want to be honest with God. Hiding my failures does little to help to grow. On the other hand, sharing them with all of you is quite humbling. I believe that many of you are struggling with the same things that I have shared in this book. Seek the Lord for help, knowing that you are not alone in your struggles. My desire is that you will press on after gaining greater insight into yourself and God as you read through this devotional. "
It's definitely a book that I related to, and I don't doubt that in many areas, if not all of them, that you will be able to too!
