| Bible lessons for kids is of utmost importance to | | | | they do if something happened to me? What |
| homeschooling. | | | | would be the most important thing I would need |
| It is my personal belief that the heart of your | | | | to teach my children if I knew I was no longer |
| homeschool adventure should be teaching your | | | | going to be around?" |
| children about God and training them to grow up | | | | It didn't take me long to realize that ONE THING |
| to be Godly men and women of faith. | | | | is a saving knowledge of God. To really know |
| A good education is important, but the bottom | | | | Jesus as their Savior. To know the Bible. To have |
| line is that if your children don't have a saving | | | | a relationship with the Holy Spirit and be led to be |
| faith in God, they have nothing. | | | | Godly men and women. |
| Let me tell you a story... | | | | This was the defining moment when I knew that |
| One day, I was feeling sorry for myself. | | | | the most important part of our home school was |
| I was tired, burned out, and just generally | | | | God. I knew I had to put bible lessons for my kids |
| overworked - sound familiar???? I had been trying | | | | first and everything else would have to come |
| to clean, feed kids, teach kids and take care of | | | | second. |
| the babies and... | | | | If they're math whizzes - great. |

| rotten colds. The kids were "running amuck" :) the | | | | If they can recite every historically significant date |
| toddler was making a mess and the baby was | | | | since the beginning of time - great. |
| crying. | | | | All of these things are great, but not if they don't |
| So I escaped. | | | | know God. |
| I put the baby in the stroller, told the kids to | | | | Put Him first and everything else will fall in place. |
| watch the toddler and went for a walk. As I | | | | As you start your home school or continue what |
| started walking and feeling like I did ABSOLUTELY | | | | you have already started, please take time to |
| EVERYTHING in the world ALL BY MYSELF (I | | | | consider what I have said and be sure that bible |
| was really feeling sorry for myself) I thought, | | | | lessons for kids is the center of your homeschool. |
| "What would they all do if I died?" | | | | Always make God the focus of your homeschool |
| This is a sobering thought. I quickly quit feeling | | | | ~ Nothing is more important than God! |
