Something to Think About

In A Charlotte Mason Companion: Personal Reflections on the Gentle Art of Learning, Karen Andreola suggests that each day a child should have:
  • Something or someone to love
  • Something to do
  • Somthing to think about

Bekah's copy work for today was this short poem which certainly provides the "something to think about", wouldn't you say?

Hear ye the Master's call, "Give Me thy best!"
For, be it great or small, that is His test.
Do then the best you can, not for reward,
Not for the praise of man, but for the Lord.

~ S.C. Kirk

  1. Powerful words, Cheryl. There's a hymn set to this poem. Haven't heard it in many years. Used to sing it when I was a child. It's such a beautiful thing to ponder a child learning these deep truths. May Bekah's heart be thoroughly captured and drenched in His love. I find this photo and posting very moving.
