A Note from "Mom"

The following was sent to me by a mom with permission to share on the blog.  The name of the school has been changed, and the children are identified by their first initial only.  This is not only for privacy reasons, but because this mom's story is the story of many moms and dads who have their children in Christian schools.  It's stories like this that remind that "this is why we do what we do."  To God be the Glory!



It is very important for us to provide our children with a Christian education, with godly teachers and fellow students. We love Jesus and want our children to know that our love for Him transcends material possessions and worldly comforts.

We desire for our children to grow to love Him deeply and to serve and glorify Him with their lives.

We want our children to grow up knowing that although we may not have been able to give them many of the things their friends may have, like American Girl dolls and video games, that we cared enough about their souls to do everything possible to surround them with Jesus, even if it requires sacrifice on our parts.

We have been pleased with “Hometown” Christian's roll in our lives thus far.

My oldest son, C, has given at least three neighbors Bibles and even has asks them if they read them. He thinks he may be a preacher one day (or a tree house designer). Either way, we know that whatever He does He will glorify God. We also know that his love for Jesus is nurtured by “H”CS. Our second child, A, has a real heart for orphans and missions. She even asked me if we could adopt some orphans for Christmas, and again wants some from Japan now. She prays faithfully for Haiti and Japan. Again, I know that her zeal is furthered by “H”CS.

We have five children and hope to give them a Christian education throughout high school. We pray faithfully for the school, Mrs. “Elementary Principal”, our teachers and classes. We love them.
