H's Homeschool program

This morning was our Wednesday morning ladies Bible study Christmas brunch. While we are at Bible study H goes in a class with other homeschoolers. She is the youngest one there but she still loves it. She has always loved playing with older girls and really loves the girls in her class.

So this morning the ladies had a wonderful time of fellowship, first with a yummy brunch, then by sharing different things from the passages of scripture that we've been studying since September. One of the most touching moments was when this young Mom played guitar and sang Silent Night ... and she asked us all to close our eyes and imagine what it might have been like to be entering Bethlehem on that night over 2000 years ago ... as you approached the manger and saw the tiny baby Jesus lying in the manger. The song and her voice were so beautiful, and as I sat there with my eyes closed I couldn't stop the tears! It was a beautiful moment. (I know none of you are surprised to hear that I cried!)

After the women shared, they brought the kids in to share things that they had practiced over the past month. H's homeschool class did a wonderful job. The boys did a little act ... acting out the shepherds reaction to hearing about the Savior. Then the girls all sang this sweet little song. I actually videotaped it on my camera ... but for some reason when I played it back there was no sound! I was so bummed because it was beautiful and I really wanted to share it. Since there is no video I thought I'd at least share a couple of cute pictures ...

Here are the girls waiting to come in while the boys do their little skit. (H is on the left.)
The boys did so good remembering their lines!
And here they are singing ... H is all the way on the right.
Since H is not in 'regular' school, it has really been a blessing to have her be a part of this great group of kids. And I love that they are all different grades and ages ... but they are learning to work together and socialize with all different kids.
