Wandering in Wealth

Walking from Worry to Wonder

Sometimes, our earnest efforts to educate our children according to Charlotte Mason’s philosophy seem to lead only to detours or dead ends—whether because we struggle to grasp her approach fully or because life disrupts our carefully laid plans. Instead of following a sure path, we feel like we are meandering through an overgrown wilderness, unsure where it will lead. Yet when the mist lifts, we may see that we really weren’t lost—we were wandering in wealth all along.
