Hey, moms, welcome to another episode of Unhurried Christmas Grace, a short series that I'm doing

specifically for the holiday season.

I'm so thankful that you're here today.

And if you're new and you don't know anything about me, I am married to Daryl and we have

been married for 32 years.

We have eight kids ages 17 to 30, five boys and three girls.

We have seven grandkids and we have been homeschooling

for over 26 years. I'm really just grateful to be here on the other side of the microphone.

I'm actually here in my sheeshed and looking outside and just enjoying the blessing of being able to bring encouragement to all of you. So I am

really thankful that you're here today. And if you are enjoying this podcast, I would love for you

to share it with your friends. So many of you have already done that. And we have hit 50,000 downloads

in 30 days. And it just, it just blows my mind.

God is so good. And it makes me thankful for the internet. It makes me thankful for the ways that

we can connect even across the world. So praise the Lord for that. And like I said before, I'm really glad you're here

with me today, especially as we walk through the Christmas season together. I hope that you're

enjoying these seasonal throwback episodes that I've been sharing and that your heart is being

encouraged toward a simple, unhurried season. Remember, busy is your calendar. Hurry is your soul.

I'm praying that your soul is unhurried as you enjoy this very special season with your family.

If you haven't checked out my three books, I just want to quickly encourage you to do that.

They could make some really great

Christmas gifts for yourself or for a friend. The Unhurried homeschooler, a simple, mercifully short
