~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Home School Foundation Report ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ November/December 2003 A Note from the Director The Stirring of the Waters Almost 2000 years ago, in the heart of Jerusalem around a pool called Bethesda, a multitude of sick and maimed people lay waiting, some for many years, all in hope of a stirring of the waters. For when the water was stirred, miracles happened. (John 5) Today, broken and hurting families still watch for the stirring of the waters, wating for miracles in their but not so much in physical pools... From what we've seen recently, it seems that God is beginning to stir in the hearts of His people to bring comfort to many homeschooling families. Here's why I say this. * In July we received a call from a gentleman in Michigan who feels a strong desire to help the homeschooling widows in his county with some financial assistance. * Not long afterwards, a man in North Carolina called saying that he wanted to help anonymously a lady recently widowed in his church so that she could keep homeschooling, without the pressure of going back to work. * Two months later a gentleman from California called and expressed a passion he has to help homeschooling widows by eventually setting up a ranch where they can come to live for a time and get on their feet. * And about a month later I received a call from a man in Florida who expressed that he and his wife are feeling a burden to help widows, and perhaps single moms, so that they can afford to keep homeschooling, and not have to take a job. Alone, these events might seem random and insignificant. Together, however, they appear to us as ripples from a burden God has dropped into the hearts of His people across the country. If you have sensed this same burden, please be encouraged that God is at work in other hearts as well, and we at HSF will be glad to help you in any way we can to be a part of what God is doing. And if you are among the hurting families waiting by the pool, be encouraged to know that God is at work; He has not forgotten you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Home School Foundation Report is a service of: Home School Foundation P.O.
