The Privilege of Motherhood

"There is no greater place of ministry, position, or power than that of a mother." ~ author unkown

Have you ever desired a higher position than what you have? Maybe one with more power? If you are a mother, I'm happy to tell you that you already have the highest position, and most powerful position possible. You have the power to shape and mold a young mind and life. Maybe you have never thought about that. Our children will be influenced by someone. Wouldn't you rather that someone be you? I know I would rather my children to be influenced by their father and I, than by others in the world. Mainly because I know how her father and I believe, think and feel.

Proverbs 1:8 & 9 says,
"My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
9) For they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck."
The child's part is to hear and obey; instructing them is our part. When every one does their part, then the child is like a badge of honor worn around our necks. This also pleases God because we obeyed His word. (See Proverbs 6:20-23 also.)

Homeschooling will be one extra way that I can help Caitlyn grow into the young Christian lady that God desires for her to be. Even though our school year has not officially begun, I can see positive changes in her. I also see positive changes in myself. This year will be a growing year for both of us!
