Countdown!

The time is approaching once again for school to start "officially". We have done some school throughout the summer, but since last Monday, we have begun doing school each morning, so that when 'the real deal' begins at the end of the month and we have longer days, we all won't be dying, screaming, or in flat out distress! :-)
I have to say that we don't ever really stop learning. And what is most important to Brad and I is not math, spelling, or grammar. Though those are important, what is most important to us is that our daughters love the Lord and know how to love one another, how to happily serve one another and how to love others as we love ourselves. To think of others first before thinking of our own selves, our own wants, or our own needs. Another important "subject" in the Mehmen home is that our daughters know how to manage a household, how to cook, how to clean, how to take care of the laundry, grocery shopping, and the like.
My point of this post was to encourage you to start reading with your children, to your children, but also for yourself. Learning. Choose to be life long learners with your children, teaching them that learning is fun, and that we'll always be learning! We'll NEVER know it all! Not ever. Gaining wisdom and knowledge for our self so that we may also share that knowledge with others and be a blessing to those in whom we've shared that knowledge with. We will SURELY not gain even one ounce of wisdom from the television. Please, turn the TV off with me, and read with me. I have posted at the top of the blog (did you notice?) the books that I have read or are currently going through. It would be great to have good discussions with you and read through a book with you! Would you join me?
If you are not seeing books added to the list at least once a month, you need to be checking up on me, and seeing what's up!
Love always! The Mehmens
