One Daughter’s Thank You
Our daughter Mary Evelyn and I are happily up to our ears in the annual homeschool play. When we got to practice yesterday morning, our friend, who was there with her two youngest children, shared a text she had just received from her daughter who is now the mother of three. This is what her daughter wrote:
Thanks for homeschooling us! Just thinking this morning how, honestly, it would be easier in lots of ways to drop ___________ off at school and come home with just two kids for the day . . . and eventually no kids. Haha. Thanks for deciding to spend most of your time pouring into us. I realize now that it wasn’t (isn’t) always easy and required lots of sacrifice. Love you.
Hang in there, Mama! Thank you for deciding to spend most of your time pouring into your children, even though it isn’t always easy and requires lots of sacrifice.
Thank you for obeying what Paul taught the Christians at Philippi:
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit,
but with humility of mind regard one another
as more important than yourselves;
do not merely look out for your own personal interests,
but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:3-4
