The Extra Benefits

I have recently heard various mothers so ready to send their kids back to school. (Schools in our area were basically cancelled last week due to the snow/ice). It made me think that I desire to keep my kids close for as long as I can. Believe me, this year is going to be hard with my daughter graduating and pondering college. I am so thankful for the 12 years I have had to educate her...yes, in grammar, reading, math,etc.. But, more importantly, in the ways of the Lord. I feel that we know our kids..better than anyone else does. And I see that aspect as an extra benefit to home schooling our children.
