Three Things on a Thursday -- No. 8

I’m back!  We spent the weekend celebrating my in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary, and I didn’t get the blog put up on Monday.  We’ll be back in business Monday!  For today, here’s my next list. 

    Something I’ve learned this past week
I’ve been doing math with my homeschooler this week.  If you know how excellent I am at math, that should concern you — I am definitely better with words than I am with numbers.  However, right now Ella is working with fractions, decimals, and percents…that stuff I have a pretty good handle on.  As she’s been asking me questions, it’s been fun to be able to help her.  I know that many of us who are schooling at home (in whatever form that’s taken for you this year) often feel like we’re in way over our heads.  But I’m finding such joy in being able to share in these moments with my girl! 

    Something amazing I’ve consumed (be it food, book, tv show, song, etc…)
Guys, I started.  I started watching Christmas movies.  Now, unlike so many people, I am not a Hallmark movie-watcher.  Part of me wonders if I gave in and watched ONE of them, I would get sucked in and watch them all — ha!  I started with “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” — the live-action one with Jim Carrey.  I know everyone has opinions on when the “right” time is to start celebrating Christmas.  Now, our Christmas decor probably won’t make it out until the week of Thanksgiving, but Christmas movies start now.  There are just too many of them to keep them in December!

    A Good Word to encourage you.
Matthew 5:16 —  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Have a great week!
