Our family has attended a North Texas Home Educators Network conference on several different occasions. This year our family was asked to assist in running a booth with some dear friends and it was a joy to meet with Christian people who have a desire to follow the Lord in raising their children. The number of first year home schoolers was amazing, and I enjoyed seeing my mother communicating the joy of learning to starry-eyed and overwhelmed beginning homeschooling mothers. We also spoke with veteran home schoolers from this metroplex; it was particularly exciting to speak to a grandmotherly woman who, with her husband, educated their daughter. Now the daughter and her husband will soon be graduating their own first home-educated son! How wonderful to see the Lord's blessing on that family. The North Texas Home Educators Network did a wonderful job organizing this event; it was a blessing to be a part of it.

Meeting dear people
Chatting with home educators
Catching up with friends and meeting new children the Lord has given them through adoption.
A sweet trio
A fraction of the members from the Jones and L. families
After one of the conference days, we were invited to the home of dear friends where we not only enjoyed a wonderful summer meal, but were refreshed by their hospitality and encouraging fellowship.
Ending the day with an icy Texas delicacy...
...and sweet fellowship.
