A Homeschool Mom’s 1 Corinthians 13

A Homeschool Mom’s 1 Corinthians 13, Scripture that we personalize brings us a whole new dimension of challenge, comfort and even smiles.

By popular demand, we share an old favorite:

If I speak in the tongues of French or Spanish, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of spelling and can fathom all mysteries of histories and all knowledge of arithmetic, If I have a faith that can move mountains of laundry and dishes each day, but do not have love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the purchase of good curriculum and give over my body to hardship of long nights of lesson preparation and research that I may boast of how well my kids are educated,but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient with slow learners. Love is kind when they forget how to multiply again.
It does not envy my friends whose kids were born knowing long division.
It does not boast when my kids can sing well but my friend’s kid does not.
It is not too proud to admit it to my friends when I’m tired and discouraged.
It does not dishonor others’ homeschooling methods.
It is not self-seeking and unwilling to invest in the homeschool culture around me.
It is not easily angered when my kid declares he doesn’t like science.
It keeps no record of wrongs- in me or in others.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth and teaches my kids the same.
It always protects my family and friends.
It always trusts that God has a plan and cares what is happening.
It always hopes that I will be able to hear God and obey His will for my family.
It always perseveres- even on LONG days. Love never fails.
