He said Thank You...
I know it has been forever since I blogged. I am slammed with work. I am now The Old Schoolhouse Magazine's Senior Graphic Designer, and between my blog designs and all the TOS work, I am swamped! But last night, I was blessed by our 14 year old, and I just have to share. He has had this friend at church who he now suspects is messing with some things he is completely against. I am so VERY thankful that he comes to us and talks to us about these things. He was so very disappointed when he told me.
Anyway, last night my hubby was at district fire training and truck checks (You know where they run around all the trucks and toot the horns, check the compartments & do radio checks. I complete believe they do this so that the fire fighters can PLAY with the trucks when there are no fires. LOL), and all the kids were in bed. I took this time to get a little more work done.
In walked our 14 year old.
He said, "You know mom my friend said something to me that I thought was real sad. He said he wished his parents were like you and dad."
I was thinking, "Oh cool! He thinks we are cool parents!!" But, I said, "Really, baby, why is that?"
He continued, "He said he wished his parents spent time with him and homeschooled him and stuff."
This child actually was envious of our being harder on our children. He viewed it as caring. IMAGINE THAT!!
Our son looked at me last night and thanked me for homeschooling them. Isn't that awesome! I know it is hard sometimes, my friends, but when your 14 year old says thank you, it is worth it all!
I will try to pop in here every couple of days to update you guys.
Blessings to you friends, |
