My wife was telling me a story about a wonderful mother who didn't have much financially. Okay...she was poor! Her husband walked out and left her and her children to take care of themselves. She went through the constant struggles of finding food/place to live for her 4 children. Regardless of her financial situation, she made sure she was home for her children. She worked full-time where her kids went to school and when school was out she picked them up to take care of them. The mother always made sure her children did their homework, were fed, spent family time together, and had all of their needs met (even when they were homeless).
Get this....! Even though she didn't have a lot of money, a nice car, a fancy house, ravishing clothes, suburban living, etc. Her daughter received a FULL SCHOLARSHIP from numerous schools throughout the United States. We aren't talking about no-name Universities either. She has received a full Scholorship from University of Chicago, William and Mary, etc.
We live in a world where our values are upside down. Our kids don't need money, fancy cars, ravishing living, etc. WHAT THEY NEED IS JUST OUR TIME!
Spending time wtih your child....priceless!
