Once, back in the early days of our homeschooling, I heard another mom say “We have good days and we have bad days, but in the end – I really like my kids!” That sums it up perfectly. Some days the lessons go smoothly and the math manipulative is your friend. Some days  you step on the math manipulative and scream in pain. But in the end, you really like your kids. No wait, it’s more than that. It’s knowing that no matter what, the Lord who has promised to be faithful –is. It’s knowing that no matter our failings, the One who is gracious to His children will do more than we ask or think. He will be gracious to our children as well.

 

Is it worth it? When I see my daughter reading the Bible to her baby, yes. Yes it is.

When I see my firstborn son holding his firstborn son, yes. Yes it is.

Someone once told me “We don’t teach books, we teach children.” I would add to that: “We don’t just teach children, we teach our grandchildren’s parents.” And the rewards multiply!

Hugs,

Mrs. M.
