We in American can attain our great destiny only by service; not by rhetoric, and above all not by insincere rhetoric, and that dreadful mental double-dealing and verbal juggling which makes promises and repudiates them, and says one thing at one time, and the directly opposite thing at another time. Our service must be the service of deeds.
-Theodore Roosevelt.
As homeschool moms, we can get so wrapped up in books and academics, we forget what really makes a difference - Good Works!
When is the last time you did "good deeds" by serving your neighbors or the poor in your city? Your kids will not learn to serve others, just by reading stories about service. They must participate in serving others (Christians and non-Christians) now, so it is a habit when they leave your home.
