Marc Cortez reminds us of what a healthy God-centered perspective looks like when it comes to helping our kids with homework …
At times like this, it’s easy to forget what being a parent is all about. We may have gotten the homework done, but along the way, I’ve lost sight of what it really means to be a parent. My fundamental purpose isn’t to help my daughter finish her homework. It’s not even to make sure she gets good grades so she can go to a good college, get a good job, and live a good life. I have a higher calling. This is my child, made in the image of God, called for a purpose. … I’ve been given the amazing task of raising one of God’s image bearers, helping her understand her vocation, modeling for her what it looks like to image God in the world (as best I can), connecting her to the rest of God’s people so she image God in community as he always intended. Raising an image bearer is a pretty awesome thing.
