Recently I met a lady who has just started home-educating her three children. She was telling me about all the things she is doing with her children. She talked with such enthusiasm and it reminded me of when my older children were little. At some point over the years my enthusiasm has waned and at times I have lost sight of why I started home-educating in the first place.
As always, the Word is such a blessing to the soul, and speaks to my heart. Yesterday morning I read:
"But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work."
2 Thessalonians 2 v13-17
God chose us for salvation - how wonderful and precious He is. Praise Him! Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
In all aspects of our life, we must look to the Lord to comfort our hearts and establish us in every good word and work. In home-education, it is so easy to get caught up with the mundane tasks that have to be done, or the problems that come with understanding a new concept. It's so easy to become discouraged, but if we look to the Lord we will remember that this is the Lord's work and trust that the Lord would guide our steps and establish us in this good work as we serve Him.
