Teach them to care...

We must teach our children. To smell the earth, To taste the rain, To touch the wind, To see things grow, To hear the sun rise. And night fall, To care. ~ John Cleal

I absolutely love seeing my children's wonder at the sprouting of a seed. The amazement as they learn that the tiniest, almost microscopic seed can carry inside of it a tiny new plant and the food that plant needs to thrive. How God created that flower to release the oxygen we need to breathe. How God intelligently made us and every living thing with a unique purpose. I am amazed to be honest. As we teach them to respect and to learn about all living things, from the smallest seedling to the ant passing by I see them have such a wonder for life. A respect for the creator. A love for learning. I can't wait to see things begin to grow in our garden!
