S3E47: Christmas Memories with Lynn Bruce and Donna-Jean Breckenridge
Our flesh the Word became, and dwelt with us,
Charlotte Mason, from “Savior of the World,”
And we beheld His glory, as, of God,
The only-begotten Son: we who believed
Knew glory when we saw it, by the signs—
Not of the pomp and majesty of Kings—
But Grace, the touch of God, showed sweet in Him;
And Truth, discerning all things, made Him simple,
His glory saw we—full of grace and truth.

Cindy, thank you so much for this! As a mom who has just graduated my first, I am drawn more and more to what I call the “CM grandmas”. I do mean that with all respect! You all have so much wisdom to share. I really appreciated thr discussion of grief from these godly ladies. Much needed right now. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
