These verses I share here are some of the many inspiring and equipping verses in scriptures that have impressed upon my heart God’s mission for parenthood, and teaching my children.   As a mom I am passionate about leaving a generational legacy with my children.  For our family, that pursuit has led us to the decision to home educate our children.  The Lord has been faithful to us in this area as well and we so enjoy our time with our blessings.

It’s hard work, but its so worth it.

“Now this is the commandment, the statues and the rules that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may DO them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, that you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son(s) and your son’s son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I commanded you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long… 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 to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” Duet. 6:1-8
