THE PANDEMIC BROUGHT FAMILIES CLOSER TOGETHER - LESSONS LEARNED

By Vernalee

Being together has shown and taught us much. This pandemic forced us to slow down and inseparably put us together for longer periods of time. We talk more, play more board games, and for many we got to know (and like) each other much better than before. If there is a silver lining, the togetherness was it. There were kids who actually did not know what their parents did until they saw them work from home. Parents began to better appreciate the role that teachers played in their children lives when they had to supervise at home learning. We have learned to zoom and do other miracles on the computer. As Remote on-line Worshipping helped many to absorb the Word in the privacy of their homes. The list of learning and discoveries continues. More importantly, we have learned to talk to and listen to each other. So I guess you can say - Being stuck together brought us closer together.

WHEN YOU EDUCATE A MAN, YOU EDUCATE AN INDIVIDUAL.WHEN YOU EDUCATE A WOMAN, YOU EDUCATE A GENERATION

By Vernalee

To my female followers, do know this - Our roles as teachers can never be underestimated. We are the backbones to our family's learning and development. When God created us, he gave every family member (fathers/husbands, mothers/wives, children) all specific roles, duties, and responsibilities. Women shoulder a great responsibility to teach, educate, and show the way. It is a coveted role that carries great weight. When we do our part, we become the capable woman that is described in Proverbs 31. Existing and future generations are depending upon us! Lastly, there is never a day of rest ...as our jobs have no expiration dates. But I think … you already know that!
