I Finally Made A Decision......took me long enough!

 

 

 

I finally decided that it was time to make this blog a living thing again! For months I have been kicking around whether or not this blog should continue to exist. I have a feeling that is should. So, I am going to just make it fun. This is the place for what is happening in the Hardy Home.

 

Instead of catching you all up on this past year, I will go forward from here.

 

Today, I'm just working on some internal questions I have had lately. I am feeling as though it is imperative that I homeschool my children. I want to do what the Lord wants me to, so I am pondering this decision with deep reflection and the next step is to get on my knees and pray about it. I know that my Father in Heaven will answer my prayers, He always does. Last night I was talking with a dear friend of mine and we were discussing this very issue. She had said that she keeps thinking about the Family a Proclamation to the World that was put out by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints many years ago.

 

For me this is the part that keeps sticking out when I read it:

 

"The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness, respect, love, compassion, work, and wholesome recreational activities. By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families. Mothers are primarily responsible for the nurture of their children. In these sacred responsibilities, fathers and mothers are obligated to help one another as equal partners. Disability, death, or other circumstances may necessitate individual adaptation. Extended families should lend support when needed."

 

With all of the Common Core hoopla coming out I have been drawn to what my Spiritual leaders have said and I am feeling that for us, as a family, this is what needs to be done. I want to raise good children who will become leaders in society and positive wonderful people. I love my boys! And I want to give them the best education possible.

 

That's what's happening at the Hardy House.
