So I had an interesting thing happen that I felt I needed to share and send out as a reminder to everyone.

I got a call from a credit card company asking for a payment (yes, we were late), but instead of being rude, upset, or making excuses, I prayed to be pleasant with the woman on the phone.  During our "conversation" she heard the kids in the background and I told her that we homeschool.  Would you believe the woman asked, "Do you mind me asking why you choose to homeschool?"  I really was shocked, and told her one reason was because of how dangerous the schools have become... but then I felt a nudging to expand, for that's not the main reason.  I then told her our main reason was because I knew they wouldn't allow prayer or talk of God in school and we wanted to build a solid foundation for our children before sending them expecting them effectively minister.  What an opportunity to plant seeds!

As christian stay at home homeschooling moms, it's so important for us to remember that we are doing such a wonderful ministry in our children, but it doesn't have to end there.  Everyone we come in contact with (which is most likely those on the phone, since we're "locked up in our homes" , or atleast that's what I tease all the time) is an opportunity to scatter seeds.

We don't have to try and bring someone to Christ in every conversation or "slam" Jesus in their face, but instead... SCATTER SEEDS!  You never know what things you say will bring more questions or thought to those you come in contact with!

May God Bless your day!
In Him,
Amy
