30 Days to Give Thanks: Day 8 Thankful for Homeschool

30 Days to Give Thanks Link Up

Today I am thankful for the right to home-school my child. I’m thankful that I live in a country where I can choose to seek alternative forms of education. I’m grateful that our founding fathers laid forth a plan that would establish freedoms that would last for hundreds of years, and that over time those within the government would continue to build upon those foundations. We are a nation of freedom and even though their are many who are seeking to thwart those freedoms, we are still free to educate our children in our homes, teaching the scriptures and doctrine as we deem to be in our child’s best interest.


Isaiah 54:13
“And you shall teach your children of the Lord and great shall be the peace of thine children.”

Most righteous Lord, God of heaven and of earth, I thank you that at this time in this place you have allowed me to live in this country which grants me freedom to train up my child within my own home. I’m thankful that this freedom has been preserved and I humbly ask that you continue to allow it to be such. I pray Oh Father that as more and more families in this country seek home-education as their best option to train up, that you will be preparing the hearts and minds of these children to rise up in their adult lives and enter into areas of government, helping to establish more such freedoms, and govern with the desire to honor you above all else. Through the precious name of Christ Jesus I pray.
