The Ratcliffe's

Have we been properly introduced?

We are Tony and Shannon, best friends since we were teens, and married for 17 years. Our children; Everett, McKenzie and Greyson & Chaeli, are a constant source of joy and challenge as they help us learn the truth of unconditional love and the need for grace and forgiveness in our lives. We homeschool our children in a small town in Ontario, Canada. (We'll be adding in a homeschool page soon so you can learn more about our choices there, but for the time being, feel free to check out our homeschool blog at www.littlehomeschoolonthehill.com)

Tony and I are born-again Christians. We are blessed with the knowledge of our Lord's love for us - and wish to glorify Him in all we say and do. That means everything in our lives is like a beautiful rose bush... there is beauty, and there are thorns... but it's all worth it to smell the delicious fragrance of roses. Our journey isn't perfect... we are an imperfect people. We seek the Lord's will in all we do, we have to ask Him often to show us His way and to ask even more often for His help to walk the path before us. But in the end that path leads to Him. Praise God!
