"Of making many books there is no end,
and much study wearies the body." Ecclesiastes 12:12b
I’d never really thought about that before tonight. I always thought much study wearies the mind, not the body.
Today I finished a wonderful but time-consuming writing project–the math section of a unit study to be put out by The Old Schoolhouse sometime next year. Tonight I do somewhat understand that text from Ecclesiastes.
And I’m hoping that the upcoming school year will be challenging but will not weary our children (or me). It’s a fine balance. Apparently I’m an old softie when it comes to school work requirements, although I often think I am too rigorous. I’m thankful that my wonderful husband can usually put such issues into perspective for us.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Yes, it is a balance. It is great to have the perspecitve of a husband. I hope you have a balanced week!
