Experience Tells

February 14, 2020 By Annette1 8 Comments

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

Recently we just finished the Canadian Online Homeschooling Conference.  Experienced homeschoolers spreading their knowledge to those coming up new.  Reminding of schedules, the ability to do it, and how to curricula pick. This experience of others, the need to be one who tells.

And recently at bible study, this experience again shows.  The stories of others who’ve gone on before. Listen, experience tells.  Showing up God’s grace in ways unexpected.  It’s a marvellous thing, this spreading of knowledge. 

I hope you will join us as we gather around Miss Kate’s Five minute Friday word prompt. 

Experience Tells

Experience Tells

Experience Tells
Older mom to younger
Don’t mind that mixed up speech
Younglin’s sometimes time will take
Their speech to straighten out.
If help is needful you will know
The patterns they will stay.
But mixing consonants will happen.
Don’t worry now this day.

Experience Tells
Homeschooler 9 years says
To brand new one venturing
On a journey to unknown lands.
Do not buy every shiney thing
That shows up on your door.
Learn your children well is first
Curriculum is second.

Experience Tells
A mom in shock soon learns.
Ask a parent more experienced.
If teen behaviour normal is.
How preteen hormones rage.
As defiance rears a head.
What to do, how to say,
Experience lends a hand.

Experience tells
How grace received is given.
Patience as you rear a Child
Reflects the Lord’s long-suffering.
Take your time.
Offer hugs, and even more grace beside.
Let the Holy Spirit
Always be your guide.

But use experience.
Lean on those gone on before.
Because Experience Tells
And acts as guide.
To more than just ourselves.
In turn your experience
A guide you soon will be.
Giving out to others
As was oft given out to thee.

Recently in the homeschool review crew I was offered a chance to mentor others into the SchoolhouseTeachers.com website. A chance to share my experiences to benefit others.  It’s great to share knowledge don’t you think?  Even one homeschool mom helping another navigate sticky sciences experiments.  I love it!  🙂

    I loved your post, but more than that …you’re such a heartwarming person. I’m homeschooling our beautiful blind son who has other health complications. Some days theres no ‘study’ but we are praying, playing, learning. I feel such a glorious kick when i read of other homeschooling moms. Thankyou for an inspiring post!🌻

      Thank you. Too often people think they need to do it all over again. They don’t
