A family member recently shared a video clip of a speech by a highly successful football coach.
In his entertaining and uplifting speech about success in life, Lou Holtz pronounced:
“You can't take your money to heaven, but you can take your children." Here's the link.
As homeschooling parents you have chosen to make investing time and effort into raising and educating your children a high priority.
For many parents it means sacrificing the financial benefits of a full-time job or the glory of pursuing career success!
There are also many other sacrifices - giving up some of the me-time you might have had, the cleaner house you might have had, the hobbies you may have had time for and sometimes even relationships with friends, that become a challenge to maintain with a bunch of kids in tow.
Lou’s words can help us to keep the bigger picture in perspective.
Our choices will impact our children and their children and the generations to come.
...and ask any veteran homeschool mom and she will tell you that the nest empties too quickly and those homeschooling days are precious memories in the making... a priceless investment of your love and time.
