1 Corinthians 13 for Homeschool Moms
Though I teach my children how to multiply, divide, and diagram a
sentence, but fail to show them love, I have taught them nothing.
And though I take them on numerous field trips, to basketball practice
and flute lessons; and though I involve them in every church activity
but fail to give them love, I profit nothing.
And though I scrub my house relentlessly, run countless errands, and
serve three nutritious meals every day but fail to be an example of
love, I have done nothing.
Love is patient with misspelled words and is kind to three-year-old
interrupters. Love does not envy the high SAT scores of other
homeschool families. Love does not claim to have better teaching
methods than anyone else, is not rude to the fourth telephone caller
during a science lesson, does not seek perfectly behaved geniuses,
does not turn into a drill sergeant, thinks no evil about friends'
educational choices.
Love bears all my children's challenges, believes all my children are
God's precious gifts, hopes all my children establish permanent
relationships with Christ, and endures all things to demonstrate God's
love.
Love never fails. Where there are college degrees, they will fail;
where there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and
we teach in part. But when the trials of life come to our children,
the history, math, and science will be done away and faith, hope, and
love will remain; but the greatest of these is love.

Thanks for sharing this. It really is easy to lose sight of what we're doing here.
