Thoughts, quotes, and poems on raising and homeschooling 3 little women. Ephesians 2: 8-10--For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." ~William Butler Yeats

Martha Washington
We read a passage about Martha Washington today for history. We learned how she cared for and nursed soldiers during the second year of the Revolutionary War. The article highlighted how her feminine touch brought back so much life to the hurting soldiers. God created women and men differently and with specific roles in mind. Our society is forgetting that truth and blurring the lines about what it means to be a woman. It was refreshing to read something that reminded my girls that being a woman means that we are called to bring truth and beauty to our world wherever God has planted us.
