It's from the Knight's Tale
by Chaucer
" Alas, why is it people so dispraise
God's providence of Fortune and her way's
That oft and variously in their scheme
Includes far better things than they could dream. "
Guilty, although I wouldn't always have seen it, but it occurred to me after talking about the latest set of dreams shelved for this homeschooling thing, and the difficulties that we face that all in all there would have been a choice.
To wander headfirst into something that I wasn't ready for and which without support would never have withstood, or to walk forward in setting a new foundations, to build a second generation of Christians upon our new foundations and provide them with the tools either to add another stronger layer or to move forward in service as God directs. The bigger picture is just that bigger than my small hopes of "grand service" destined more than likely to crash under the pressure of lack of support around us.
