Quotes by Sarah Mackenzie  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It is so exhausting- sometimes even demoralizing- to realize that our work in raising up and teaching our children is never really done. But we must remember that we were never intended to finish it.”
Sarah Mackenzie, Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace

“If you want a child to know the truth, tell him the truth. If you want a child to love the truth, tell him a story.”
Sarah Mackenzie, The Read-Aloud Family: Making Meaningful and Lasting Connections with Your Kids

“It doesn't really matter if we have the most beautiful, carefully thought-out plan if there aren't enough hours in the day to get to it. Look, if God expected you to get 36 hours worth of work done in a day, he would have given you 36 hours to do it. If you have more to do than time to do it in, the simple fact is this: some of what you are doing isn't on His agenda for you.”
Sarah Mackenzie, Teaching from Rest: A Homeschooler's Guide to Unshakable Peace
