So easy to get sidetracked by all the other "stuff". Thanks for the reminder. God’s glory being shown is indeed what our focus should be on. So easy to get sidetracked by all the other “stuff”.

This may be nothing, but I found it interesting that Jesus only came into play in the last paragraph of that article. I would posit that "loving as Christ loved us" is the chief means to bring glory to God... if you apply that filter to your family ministry, you don't need to measure up to anyone else's artificial construct of family (and neither does the author of that article). From what I read on your blog, you faithfully demonstrate Christ's love to your family, and that's the only mirror you need to look in.

This is something that I think many Christian homeschoolers struggle with. I think I fall about the same place you do. Good article, thanks for spotlighting it.
