“Like Teacher, Like Student” – Sursum Corda News November 2022
Dear Sursum Corda Mamas–
Jesus said, “…everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.” (Luke 6:40) The thought that our children are learning from who we are even more than from the lessons we give them is sometimes comforting, sometimes troubling. But how often do we actually consider what that means for our homeschool priorities, for our to-do lists, for our community at Sursum Corda?
Think of the mother-teachers you know at Sursum Corda. Just imagine the impact of that mother who is deeply, remarkably patient. What will her students be like someday? What about one who is diligent beyond all measure? One who studies and learns for herself with unending zeal? One who is head-over-heels in love with Jesus? Thank God for these mothers who are modeling abundant life for your children. Thank God for the virtues, skills, and loves He has grown in you so far. And then put that next little step forward in your own education right at the top of the weekly “school” list. And thank God that you will someday be just like your Teacher, too.
With love,
Heather (for the Board)
