Staying
at Home
by Sarah Kennington
It takes more than people realize
to stay home.
You give up a lot but the rewards are endless and your children are
the benefactors of that reward.
The initial reasons for writing this newsletter
were somewhat of a
mission. I had something that I really felt I needed to share and if
I can help one person stay at home with their child then that mission
is accomplished.
It takes more than people realize to stay home. You give up a lot but the rewards are endless and your children
are the benefactors of that reward.
It's up to us to raise them and there is nothing that we will ever
do that will be more important. There is not a dollar that we can
earn that would replace the time we spend with our children.
Little did I know that this newsletter would grow to what it has.
In a little over a years time we now are a group of over 7000 people
many of which have the same heart that I do for their children.
Yes, we can use a little less soap, buy our clothes at garage sales,
cook our own food, grow our own food but...
The real thing that we are doing is giving to society something
that no one else can ever give. We are giving well raised and
happy children which will be well raised and successful adults.
When it's all said and done I promise each of you that you
will not think for a second "Oh I should have spent more
time at the office". Your children will always know that you
were there and as they grow into adults they will understand
that you sacrificed yourself for them.
God has given you a great blessing in being a parent. Never
take it for granted. There will always be time to work.

Guilt at being bored, guilt at needing help, guilt at wanting time

coping with learning and exhaustion and reality.
