How To Teach Your 4 and 5-Year-Old To Knit // Charlotte Mason Handicrafts for Kinderleben

I don’t have time to do it all.
Sitting on the couch quietly knitting. Book upon life-giving book, read-aloud and mused silently. Snowstorm walks and cocoa at home. Games of memory and giggles with hide n’ seek.
Time spent here, is an investment that gives back 10-fold.
Soul-sucking headlines. 24/7 news. Internet gossip. Tiring commutes. Moving piles of chaos from one room to another. Comparison traps and “relaxing” that fatigues our souls.
Time owned by these things puts me in debt.
When I spend freely on this gamble, I always lose.
It’s flashy, promising a high and a dazzle, but leaves life empty, wanting--stealing our precious savings-making the world around us dull and unappealing, so we rush back to the empty promise as soon as we can.
But spending freely on the mundane. THAT’S what makes life a joy. The smallest tasks sparkle with real rest and contentment.
A Child, Nature, Rest . . . the most beautiful things in God’s Creation, don’t sizzle and pop in a pan. But by leaning in and really looking, that is where we are satisfied.
In Him. In His economy.
