Parents cannot rightly train their children unless they learn how to cooperate with the Lord in his work upon the heart. The first essential in educating your households in the fear of God, is consecration of yourself and your all to God. ”

“The power of a mother’s prayers cannot be too highly estimated. She who kneels beside her son and daughter through the vicissitudes of childhood, through the perils of youth, will never know till the judgment the influence of her prayers upon the life of her children. If she is connected by faith with the Son of God, the mother’s tender hand may hold back her son from the power of temptation, may restrain her daughter from indulging in sin. When passion is warring for the mastery, the power of love, the restraining, earnest, determined influence of the mother, may balance the soul on the side of right.”

“The mother’s influence is an unceasing influence; and if it is always on the side of right, her children’s characters will testify to her moral earnestness and worth. Her smile, her encouragement, may be an inspiring force. She may bring sunshine to the heart of her child by a word of love, a smile of approval….”

Dear Homeschooling Parent,

Dear Homeschooling Parent,
It’s easy to fall into the pit of worry about being a ‘good enough’ homeschooling teacher , especially when we focus too much on  what other families are doing. Am I good enough?  Even veteran homeschoolers fall prey to the worry trap.   Let’s get out of that trap today.   Yes, we all have our weaknesses, but  God wants to work with us to overcome them.   Are you relying on God for strength and wisdom to do your best?  Then you are good enough.
