She Has Done Well
Forgive me for being very personal today, but the Bible teaches that we are to give honor to whom it is due, and that honor is certainly due to Leah.
In just a couple of days, she will no longer be “homeschooling mom Leah.” With Turner graduating on Friday, Leah has now finished that chapter of her life and, as the title of this post says, she has done well.
Now, she doesn’t believe she has done well. She sees the things she didn’t do. She sees where our kids still fall short at times. She sees holes in their education or blunders they have made and she takes that on herself.
Anyone who has paid attention, though, knows she has done well. Mary Carol and Turner had the best possible teacher for all their years, because they had a teacher who loved them unconditionally and who was always right there. She educated by words and by example. She prayed with them, sang with them, and disciplined them. She was the school cook and nurse and counselor.
And she did it all with a grace that is unmatched.
Now, it is true that I’ll get a lot less phone calls now, asking (through tears) how to handle something. But, even though that happened, it was because she always wanted to do her very best for our precious children.
Honestly, I can’t wait to see what God does through Leah now. She has some plans, but only the Lord knows how she will impact the kingdom in this next phase of her life. Whatever she does, people will be blessed.
I know I am, and I know our two children have been. She has done well.
Thank you, Leah.
