I love learning from and being inspired by the people God has placed together in our family. To witness the variety of budding gifts and ability in our household and to see each person contributing to the family culture, this is beautiful.
This month two of my dear siblings have enriched our home in a small way with the beauty and creativity of the English language. These two, Annie Hope and Daniel, have been exploring the art of writing basic poetry. Although they have heard verse since infancy and memorized poetry from early childhood, this has been their first experience with writing their thoughts and ideas in poetic form.
When my sister Emily was a young lass, she wrote a charming poem complete with artistic flair, whose stanzas were alphabetized. She was inspired by a book that had winsome verses woven together with lovely illustrations. The topic Emily choose was God's created work in nature.
