What Is Really Important

I want to encourage those out there, that for whatever reason, don't feel competent. I recently found out that one of my dear friends has breast cancer. She is homeschooling her daughter, but is going to have alot on her plate this year with surgery, chemo, etc. So far, she has decided that cancer is not going to get in the way of keeping her daughter at home. Sometimes homeschooling is LIFE and LIFE is homeschooling. Why are we wanting our children home? Mainly for spiritual reasons. What better way to turn something scary into something good by teaching our children through this experience? As friends, several of us homeschool and some do not, but we are all working together to help her with whatever needs there may be. Our children are going to learn the value of helping one another in tough times, caring, listening, fixing meals, praying....realizing that is OKAY to drop everything...even academics...temporarily, to focus on what is really important. And I don't think you can get a better lesson than that.
