My grand-daughter, Chalice, loves to read George McDonald books. Today she asked me to read a quote from him: "No man ever did the best work who copied another. Let every man work out the thing that is in him! Who, according to the means he has, great or small, does the work given him to do, stands by the side of the Savior, is a fellow-worker with Him. Be a brother (or a sister) after thy own fashion, only see it be a brother (or sister) thou art."
What true words. God is an amazing Creator and He doesn't make clones. Every individual He has created since the beginning of time is a new and fresh revelation from the hand of God.
YOU also are new creation, never before or never again to be created. God has given you a personality and differing gifts to use. You will never be like someone else. You don't have to mother like someone else. You have to mother your children according to who you are. My three daughters who are married, Evangeline, Pearl, and Serene are all wonderful mothers, but each one mothers differently. The homeschool differently. They discipline differently. And neither is influenced by the other. They embrace who God created them to be.
Everyone of your children are unique individuals. They have different gifts. They will learn differently. They are not meant to be put in a box!
The government wants all the children in the state system to be put in a box. They want to brainwash with their humanist and progressive agenda so they will think like them.
But, God wants your children to think like Him. And He has a special purpose for each one of your children. Give them freedom to be who God created them to be. Let them fulfill their giftings. You may find that as they begin to do this that will start home businesses in their young years that could eventually be their life's work.
We glorify God when we embrace who He created us to be.
