Love in Homeschooling – Exploring how love plays a central role in homeschooling Over time, love has become a central focus of my Christian walk, as I’ve realized how impactful this one concept of loving others can be. Jesus says that all the law and the prophets are summed up in “love God, love your neighbor as yourself.” If one thing can cover so much ground, it must be essential that we understand it! In a very basic sense, when we homeschool our children, we are loving our neighbor as ourselves. We remember what school was like for us and we want better for them. We are sacrificing our own opportunities for income, self-fulfillment, and achievement in order to see our children successful and fulfilled. But there are times we forget this motivation. Or the motivation becomes cloudy, tainted by the pressures, fears, and worldly ambitions we allow to enter our hearts. So it’s good to be reminded of what love really is. If we want to truly love, we must know what exactly love is. And to know exactly what love is, we must turn to the Bible’s definition in 1 Corinthians 13, the “love chapter.” If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Moms, you can have the perfect homeschool curriculum and teach with eloquence and simplicity, but if you don’t have love, you will fail your kids. You can even do it in the power of the Holy Spirit, according to this chapter, and still fail your kids! That’s how important love is to everything you do in life. In fact, love was so important to God that He sent Jesus to die for us. Love is at the very core of the Gospel! So we need to have a full understanding of it. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Now, let’s look at what love is... Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Patient Are you patient in teaching your children about 56 times in a day that 7x8 is 56? Are you patient in teaching them how to do their chores quickly and diligently? Or is your goal to check off the boxes and be done? Kindness Do your children see you as an example of kindness? When they talk back and disrespect you, do you respond “in kind” or with kindness (and discipline, of course)? Does Not Envy or Boast Pride is the opposite of love. Pride is all about self, not God and others. If you are busy making yourself feel accomplished from the shiny, perfect children you have raised, then your homeschooling is not about love. It is about boastfulness in your own achievements. If you look at others whose kids graduated high school at age 13 and think, “That’s not so great. We could have done that if we had wanted to,” then you may have an envious heart that has no room for love. Not Arrogant or Rude

Life As A Wildflower
Release Date: 05/05/2021
Authors: Durga Sidharth
Description: Life as a Wildflower is a laid back, relaxing podcast, raw and right from the heart. This ain't a mechanical, pitch perfect podcast. I believe, the flaws are what makes it unique. A podcast that sounds like a soft, one sided conversation.'There's something we can learn from every person around us.' And here I present everything I've learnt that way. Life as a Wildflower is all about interesting little tales and the lessons I learn from the faults I make. And sometimes about intriguing things in life. More like a diary, deep from the heart.
