Homeschool

Thank you God, for allowing us to home educate our children! It is through His provision that we are able.

 Philippians 4:19  But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

Thank you to my hardworking husband who is submissive to God's plan and leads our family for God's glory and not the world's.

How do you do it?

I read this from a daily devotion and it made me think, "Why do we do what we do?" Is it because we want to be considered a success? Is it because we want to feel we are capable and prove it? Is it because we want to be loved in return? Is it because we love Jesus supremely? As children of God, the love of Christ constrains us. His love compells us to love, as He has loved and is loving us.
 " Paul’s idea of service was to pour his life out to the last drop for others. And whether he received praise or blame made no difference. As long as there was one human being who did not know Jesus, Paul felt a debt of service to that person until he did come to know Him. But the chief motivation behind Paul’s service was not love for others but love for his Lord. If our devotion is to the cause of humanity, we will be quickly defeated and broken-hearted, since we will often be confronted with a great deal of ingratitude from other people. But if we are motivated by our love for God, no amount of ingratitude will be able to hinder us from serving one another." Oswald Chambers
To love we must first know true love. "For God so loved... that he gave"... John 3:16

My Children

My children are a gift from God. A beautiful song by Abigail Miller captures my thoughts: "God the Father has made me a mother, what a miracle of mercy and of love." Our children are "evidence that God is ever merciful" to us! Trusting us with His creations, what an awesome gift He gives us.  The trick is, seeing it from God's perspective, not ours!

Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

God's Love

So glad that God's love is not conditional. It isn't based on our performance or ability. He loves us with a perfect love! Romans 5:8
