The Father has blessed me with many things,
And one of the dearest to me
Is the gift of helping His children
To be all that God wants them to be.
Our family may seem a bit different
When compared to the norms of today,
But in looking at Jesus' example,
I believe it should be that way.
Our children are really just children,
Not unlike many others you know,
With laughter and tears, good times and bad,
Just living and learning to grow.
Their schoolroom is often our kitchen,
And we dont own a big yellow bus.
There are no goodbyes every morning at eight,
For our home brings the teaching to us.
Indeed, our Lord has commanded
That we teach His children His way,
And so we are striving to impress upon them
His statutes and precepts each day.
For I want what they learn to stay with them
Wherever they one day might roam.
Thats why, my friend, you will find me
Teaching my children at home.
