That is a wonderful idea. I love receiving “real” mail.

I think your blog is another way of mentoring. I really appreciate hearing tips and tricks that work for you. I’m always blessed when I get to spend time with older women. Even just talking to them. I always end up soaking up some bit of wisdom.

I am loving this series that you are doing. This is a topic near and dear to my heart. The other idea that I wanted to add was to send (through the old fashioned snail mail) a card. Most people get their mail sometime in the later part of the day and a bright cheery, thinking of you card can do wonders to lift a tired mother that has been “busy” all day. It might just be what puts a smile on her face and a bounce in her step as she begins dinner and prepares for her husband to return.

Again, thank you for taking the time to minister through this blog. As a homeschooling mother to four seven and under it is a huge blessing. We are still planning to add more to our family as God blesses in that area so I am trying now to learn as much as I can from other mothers of large families. God is using you. Thank you for being willing.

It is also easy to have a young mom over in the midst of your house cleaning, child training, meal cooking times. Seeing it action is a great way to mentor another mom. I have learned more by actually watching an older woman than by words alone!

Thanks Celee. You’ve been an encouragement to me.

Just remember, don’t overstretch yourself, you still have a houseful and you’re already doing a lot!

Thank you for the encouragement this series has been to me. There are several ladies who are really hurting in our church right now, and this has been the challenge I’ve needed to reach out to them more. I salve my conscience by telling myself we’re too young to be Titus 2 women yet, but the truth is that there are younger women all around me that I can reach out to. Your thoughts about adding just a bit more food to what I’ve already planned is spot on–a very simple way to reach out to others!

Your blog is a wonderful ministry to Christian homeschooling moms. I have struggled finding the time for mentoring. I have a women’s Bible study in my home on Tuesday nights and my husband is 100% in support of it. I always make coffee and try to have some snacky kind of food. It’s become a mom’s night out and we’re usually not alone until 10:30 or 11pm. It is a sacrifice, but so well worth it! It’s hard or impossible to really get to know someone in 2 hrs on Sunday and 2 hrs on Wednesday. It takes making efforts like this to really know and love one another. And of course, the cement that holds us together is our love for the Lord and committment to the study of His Word. I also send notes to women in our church regularly. I need to make more calls and do more face to face. Thanks for the reminder and encouragement!
