Parent, do you know how “qualified” you are to teach your own children? Many people will make you feel not qualified while they explain away the public schools’ failure to teach children even the basics of education. I love this quote that is attributed to one of the former students of James A. Garfield:
“The ideal college is Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other.”
Hopkins was well known and loved for his simplicity in education. The Bible makes it even more simple:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” ~ Deuteronomy 6:5-9 NKJV
Doesn’t this sound like anywhere, anytime? Or better yet: Everywhere. All the time.
Parents, you can do it! Everywhere. All the time! Just fall in love with God again and teach your children to do the same. Every thing will flow from there.
Let’s talk about why next week.
