Reminder to say "thank you"

School is nearing completion or is done for most of you I imagine (unless you’re one of the homeschoolers that schools through the summer!). Most of the time when the last tests are done, everyone congratulates the students for finishing another year of school. Perhaps in your family or homeschool group you even celebrate with an end of the year party. You begin to look forward to a relaxing summer, or at least a break from school..... But wait, you forgot something!

Who’s the person who taught you diligently this school year, who sacrificed much of her time to plan lessons, teach, and help you?

Your mother!

Have you given your mother a heartfelt “thank you” for all she has done for you this year? Can I encourage you to take the time to write a card or letter thanking your mom for all that she’s sacrificed for you? As a homeschooler, you would not have finished this year without her! Perhaps you would like to go even further and come up with more creative ways to show your gratefulness for all that she’s done for you. But don’t sit by and not praise and thank her for her diligent efforts!

(If your father has helped you much this year, be sure to do the same for him!)
