I sat
surrounded by lesson plans, looking at all that needed to be done for our
school year. We were adding curriculum and I thought for a moment, maybe I had
made a mistake. I felt beyond overwhelmed, thinking to myself, “I only have so
many hours in the day. How will we ever get through all this material?”
That’s when
I heard His still small voice. “As long as you teach them about Me, it has been
a good day.”
I stopped
and asked myself, “Why am I homeschooling?” There were so many reasons, but the
primary reason is so that I can teach my children about Jesus in everything I
do. As long as I teach my kids something about Jesus every day, then it is a
good day.
Do you find
yourself in that boat? Do you think, “We didn’t even get to school today. We
are completely off schedule. I have way too much housework to do. I can’t do it
all!” Then remind yourself of what Jesus says, You cannot do it all, but I have
done everything.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these
words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You
shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you
sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and
when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as
frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your
house and on your gates.” Deuteronomy 6:4-9
This is our charge. Whether you get through every
subject in your day or none at all. If we have taught them the ways of the Lord
and the salvation He gives through His Son, Jesus Christ, it is a good day.
