Over the years, I have read a number of books by G.K. Chesterton. However, since I am not currently reading anything by this great Catholic writer, I thought that I wouldn't be joining Sarah for her Weekends with Chesterton. Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's Children and Parents
caused me to change my mind. In his book, Venerable Archbishop Sheen quotes G.K. Chesterton.

Sheen explains, "By this he meant that education begins early." I will add that I think that Chesterton is also saying that education begins at home. Parents truly are the primary educators of their children.
This quote makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI really like it when a blog post makes me smile. I am happy that this post brought a smile to your face. :)
DeleteAh! I've never seen this one!
ReplyDeleteI had a thought the other day that it would be so great if Chesterton and Sheen were still here with us, so I could read their blogs. :)
It would be so great. Thank you for hosting the link up, Sarah.
DeleteLove this quote Christine and SO, so fitting! It's at the core of why we homeschool, eh? And Yes about the two of them still being around, thank heavens there are books!!
ReplyDeleteI agree. I couldn't help but think when I read it, "Yes, parents truly are the primary educators of their children." I am so thankful that there are books. :)
DeleteI'm so enjoying this series. One of these weekends, I'll join in. Everything I read by Chesterton is so good!
ReplyDeleteOh Elisa, I can't wait for you to join in and I hope that you share at least one of your great photos when you do so. I look forward to eventually reading what you have to share. I might just have to reread a book by Chesterton in the near future or read our oldest daughter's favorite Chesterton book, an old hardcover copy of The Complete Father Brown, published by Wordsworth Classics.
