That is one of my goals throughout the day. I want to make connections with my kids. To really look into their eyes and speak to them. To pour wisdom, love, good character, and Jesus into their impressionable minds.
I am fortunate to homeschool my children. I don't know how parents find the time to do this when their children are gone all day at school. Not to mention how busy families can be with extracurriculars and homework every night.
But just because I am with my kids everyday doesn't mean that it is easy to spend this quality time with them. I have the normal mom duties that are endless added on to the daunting task of educating all three of my little ones. It is easy to get wrapped up in household chores and to-do lists. But when I feel that happening I know I need to step back and look at the bigger picture. Dishes and laundry can wait. These blessings that are growing before me need me now.
A cute homeschool moment- Joshua is reading a biography of Thomas Alva Edison. He came to me all excited and said "Mom, did you know he was homeschooled!" My response- "Yes, isn't it cool that one of the greatest inventors of all time was homeschooled!" He just beamed :)
