Why I Homeschool- Freedom’s Future

Posted by Renae | 0 comments

The world is riddled with arbitrary standards and vague morality. Fear swells as economies crash and wars rage. However gloomy the forecast appears, America is still a land touted for freedom. Will freedom exist for future generations?

While there is no guarantee of success, hope compels me to plant seeds of liberty in the hearts of my three children. It takes tremendous faith and sacrifice to pour my life into them. Because they are valuable, my love will never be in vain, but sometimes the weight of the unknown presses my resolve.

Can one individual really impact the circumstances of life now, let alone one hundred years from now?

God has used individuals to change the fate of entire nations.

• Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt.
• William Wilberforce labored for years to abolish slavery in England.
• Harriet Tubman escaped slavery and then risked her life rescuing others.
• George Washington encouraged a new nation of Americans to fight for liberty.

History is still being written. It is doubtful it will record my name, but, perhaps, my influence will endure. This gives me hope.

I hope the ideas pondered today will flourish tomorrow. I hope my children will follow their conscience, obeying God rather than men. I hope they will live in the true liberty that follows a clean conscious. I hope their children and grandchildren do the same.
