I think the quote “he who will not read is no better off than he who cannot read” pretty much sums it up. I’ve recently been pondering the reciprocal of reading…writing. So many people are voracious readers, and yet, never lay pen to paper. What good is the accumulation of knowledge if one is not going to share it with others?

Hi Janice;

I shudder to think of a world (or childhood) with no fictional books. My favorite part of homeschool and perhaps even parenting, is reading to and with my children.

I do ask God for wisdom and discernment as what we should read (and what we should not). We have found His hand guiding us in all such manners without a doubt. There is so much written, truly not all of it is beneficial for us to read (especially as Believer’s). I think we would be wise,as to ask God what it is that we should be focusing our reading time with.

Thankfully, for the above mentioned woman of *no fictional books* that all those lost moments can be regained, either with her own children or alone. It is never too late to dive into reading books, whether written for children or not…and even better…

we know God can bring her His peace into those areas she feels are still void. I pray she gives those hurts to Him, for really only He can heal what she has uncovered.

Thanks for sharing…
