In reality, teaching children in the home
Is a mother's work that is never done
For in truth there is so much to be known
And it's by example that hearts and minds are won
With a mother not given to idleness
Children recognize they have jobs too
And with roles and abilities to harness
Comes the need to know what God would have one do
Memorizing scriptures... makes wise use of time
When we've mundane chores the mind's free
And efforts can combine
For the treasuring of family
As storms of disbelief swirl around
Distracting and misleading children
A spiritual setting needs to be found
And, faith in the home provides that haven
Mothers Teaching Children in the Home
