Today's post is inspired by love. In homeschooling children are exposed to love in the family. However, there are two sides to this equation. Even though they are exposed to love, they can also be exposed to division. Love is an action word that requires faith daily. For homeschooling to work, love must be present. There are times when we may not feel like walking in love. Love at times brings different emotions. It can be happiness, sadness, worrying, etc. Sometimes love can even mean staying silent even if you want to scream. Love means being patient even in the midst of chaos. In homeschooling, I’m learning how to love daily. Sometimes life throws a wrench in your walk and you may get thrown off, but love allows you to get up to either strive and go on or either let go. Both can be acts of love for a season to regroup. Marriage is seriously tested in homeschooling because as the children get older, curriculums have to change and we have to deal with pre-teen emotions. It can cause a strain on the marriage if we allow it. During these times some decisions have to be made on how to proceed. Love during this time can mean staying silent and watching how life will play out. During the twist and turns of love, our children are being taught daily how to handle and respond to conflict. It's okay to be angry, as long as that anger doesn't consume you to the point of developing a hardened heart. Our children are learning how to pray, resolve conflict, and have faith the size of a mustard seed. So during these twists, take advantage of the lessons that can be taught and also the lessons learned. Understand that at times you may fail, and that's okay. Just get back up again and continue forward. Learn to navigate through the twist of love and everything will fall in line the way it's supposed to. I hope I provoked thought today๐น.
1 Corinthians 13:2
[2]And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity(love), I am nothing. Selah ๐น

That chapter transformed my life and the way my family was shaped. Love that didn’t have action behind it was smoke. Vapors. Love it InYah๐น๐น
Love that๐น๐น And once it becomes vapors its impossible to get it back through human strength. But with the Most High ALL things are possible☺️
