God's Goodness to Me

Last month I attended a home school co-op meeting at church. There I sat in a room with very talented moms who offered to teach painting, pottery, knitting, cake decorating, music, sign language, Spanish, P.E., etc. I left the meeting feeling very discouraged, because I couldn't think of anything to contribute to this group. I don't do any one thing exceptionally well. I'm a teacher, but these moms needed extracurricular activities for their children. Phil told me not to be discouraged, but to pray about it, because I am who God made me to be.

Within the next couple of weeks, something just kind of fell into my lap. A couple of friends approached me. One asked for advice on how to teach her 4 year old daughter to read, and another needed ideas and activities for her preschool-aged children. The answer was so obvious!

This Friday I'm hosting my first preschool co-op right here in my home. So far we have 16 children! One of the moms taught preschool before she had kids and she's very excited to contribute. I have no idea how big we'll get, but I'm so excited to start this! I'm also very thankful for the opportunity to share our beautiful yard and play structure with other moms and their children.
