I said good-bye to what had been my life for the last 25 years, and before I left I wrote this encouragement to the moms still in our homeschool group. I don't think this will be my final word on this blog or this subject because now I'll have lots of time to write! But now, I'll try to figure out which subjects I'll want to write about for your entertainment.
If
you have the opportunity, look this up on YouTube, and listen to it as you read
the words:
Find
Us Faithful
by Steve Green
We're pilgrims on the journey
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
Of the narrow road
And those who've gone before us line the way
Cheering on the faithful, encouraging the weary
Their lives a stirring testament to God's sustaining grace
Surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses
Let us run the race not only for the prize
But as those who've gone before us
Let us leave to those behind us
The heritage of faithfulness passed on through godly lives
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
May the fire of our devotion light their way
May the footprints that we leave
Lead them to believe
And the lives we live inspire them to obey
Oh may all who come behind us find us faithful
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we've left behind
May the clues that they discover and the memories they uncover
Become the light that leads them to the road we each must find
How can we be found faithful?
1.
Do what is good! Micah 6:8 He
has told you, O man, what is good; And what
does the Lord require
of you but to do justice, to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
2.
Be Just! Proverbs
21:15
3.
Be Kind! Proverbs
3:3
4.
Walk humbly with God. James
4:10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord,
and He will exalt you.
If we do these things for others, how much more should we do
these for our children? I want to impress on you as I go, that academic
excellence is NOTHING without godly character.
Make sure godly character is the priority in your home. Do whatever it
takes to ensure that your children are seeing godly character modeled in your
home, all day, every day. And that is my final word.
