She knows how to make a child&#8217;s heart beat high in joy and thankfulness as she thrills him with the thought, &#8216;my Father made them all,&#8217; while his eye delights in flowery meadow, great tree, flowing river. &#8220;His are the mountains and the valleys his and the resplendent rivers, whose eyes they fill with tears of holy joy,&#8221; and this is not beyond children. We recollect how &#8216;Arthur Pendennis&#8217;1\u00a0walked in the evening light with his mother and recited great passages from Milton and the eyes of the two were filled &#8216;with tears of holy joy,&#8217; when the boy was eight. The teacher of a class has not the same tender opportunities but if he\u00a0take\u00a0pains to get a just measure of children&#8217;s minds it is surprising how much may be done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2014 Charlotte M. Mason \u2014<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">It started as an ordinary\u00a0day.\u00a0While mother\u00a0prepares breakfast,\u00a0three young brothers run out\u00a0of\u00a0the door for some\u00a0fresh air and\u00a0outdoor time before they begin their lessons.\u00a0The oldest\u00a0one runs down the\u00a0sidewalk toward the main road following his usual course until he notices\u00a0a recently injured turtle tumbling to the side of the road.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">Upon closer examination, he sees the turtle has\u00a0quite\u00a0a large crack in its shell.\u00a0As he returns home with\u00a0the wounded\u00a0turtle in tow, brothers soon gather\u00a0around him\u00a0to assess the situation. It is not an ordinary day after all. It is turtle-saving day!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">They had learned that turtles like berries and worms.\u00a0Of course,\u00a0food is needed to save a turtle;\u00a0so,\u00a0they quickly dug up a couple\u00a0of\u00a0worms and lined them\u00a0up\u00a0in a row\u00a0with some berries\u00a0right in front of the turtle\u2019s mouth\u00a0to make it easy for him, since he wasn\u2019t moving much.\u00a0The turtle in his\u00a0turtle way gave thanks and ate\u00a0and reassured the boys their efforts were worthy. Shortly after\u00a0breakfast,\u00a0mother and\u00a0her\u00a0boys\u00a0brought\u00a0the turtle to the nearby wilderness station,\u00a0where\u00a0he\u00a0will stay until he\u2019s ready to be\u00a0released.\u00a0Did the children learn their sums that day?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"rtejustify\">Yes.\u00a0And, maybe more importantly,\u00a0they\u00a0learned that they are\u00a0ready and able\u00a0stewards of God\u2019s world\u00a0and its creatures.\u00a0They also learned that\u00a0the turtle is a\u00a0she,\u00a0and\u00a0a red-eared slider,\u00a0and\u00a0that\u00a0a turtle\u2019s shell is a skeleton like our bones.\u00a0They will remember this day&#8230;a fond memory shared by all.\u00a0Mother has instilled in her children the thought that \u2018our Father made them all.\u2019\u00a0We believe it was a Divine appointment.\u00a0We must be on the lookout for these.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>P.S. Word from the wilderness station is that the turtle will have a full recovery.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_separator width_in_percentages=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]<sup>1\u00a0<\/sup>Arthur Pendennis is the main character in the story\u00a0<em>The History of Pendennis: His Fortunes and Misfortunes, His Friends and His Greatest Enemy<\/em>\u00a0by William Makepeace Thackeray[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mother knows how to speak of God&#8230; with all the\u00a0evidences\u00a0of his care and love about her and his children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":761,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-ambleside-classroom"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
