Help my infirmities; when I am pressed down with sorrow, not knowing what to do, slandered and persecuted. Make me feel the weight of the cross, help me, I pray to You.
If you see in me any wrong thing encouraged, any evil desire cherished, any delight that is not Your delight, any habit that grieves You, any nest of sin in my heart, then grant me Your forgiveness, and teach my feet to walk the way of Your commandments.
Deliver me and make me a holy person; help me to walk the separated life with a firm and brave step; and to wrestle successfully against wickedness.
Teach me to adore and magnify You, and make me a perfume of gratitude to You.
I do not crouch at Your feet as a slave before a tyrant, but exalt You as a son with a father.
Give me power to live as Your child in all my actions, and to exercise sonship by conquering self.
Preserve me from the intoxication that comes of prosperity, sober me when I am glad with joy that comes not from You. Lead me safely on the eternal kingdom, not asking whether the road be rough or smooth. I request only to see the face of Him I love; to be content with bread to eat, with clothes to put on if I can be brought to Your house in peace.
Amen.

you know you are a home school mom, when...
Here are some of my favorites:
1. When the teacher gets to kiss the principal of the school and no one gossips.
2. Your bank statement reflects that you spend most of the income in books and classes than in a fancy clothing store.
3. You have a book case in every room in your house..... and need to have more!
4. You have more than one answer to the question: what about socialization?
5. Your children never leave the "why" stage.
6. Your husband walks at the end of the day home, and does not need to ask how the science experiment went.....
7. On your kitchen counter you have a couple of experiments growing (on purpose!)
8. You are not sure what to expect they'll say when you take you kids the the "Dinosaur museum"
9. When raking leaves and shoveling snow is part of their exercise routine.
10. When you take you kids from tennis to swimming to hockey to art to science classes and realize that you need to cut down on your social activities to do actual school work.
11. When they ask you if you are not afraid of socialization you answer: yes, that's why I home school!
12. Your librarian knows you by name.
13. When their best friends of your kids are the siblings.
14. When your kids are not embarrassed to play with younger kids.
