I had an answer to prayer. I have been
feeling a little unsure lately about electives for my boys. Instrument?
Carpentry? Art? Justin and Jonathan had been taking piano, but
I had come to a point where I was unsure how to move forward.
One day it dawned on me that the Lord knows what type of future they
will have, so of course He knows more than I do what types of things they need
to learn. All three of my boys love to draw, and I had noticed last year or so
in one of the home-school catalogs that Thomas Kinkade had an art curriculum. I
thought it would be great if we used his, but it was just a fleeting "maybe one
day" thought. Besides the fact that I didn't want to jump into anything without
praying about it. And that stuff is expensive!
I don't like to stress over things, so we started taking it
to the Lord each morning during our devotions. A new friend of mine -I met
doing Good News Club- called me and asked me if I would be interested in
art lessons for my boys. She had bought it for her grand-daughter, but they had
changed their mind about using it. She wanted to give it to me, and wouldn't
take any money for it. Guess what art curriculum it was? That Thomas Kinkade
set I was looking at!
I'm not saying this replaces music. We are still praying about that. It does give us something to which to look forward!
