BE A ROCKER!
“… Be like a wise man who built his house on rock.” — Matthew 7:24
A few years ago, I felt led by the Holy Spirit to form a homeschool
support group called “ROCKERs,” which stands for Roman Catholics Keeping
Education Real. Our members usually interact with one another online
through our Facebook group, and it is always inspiring to see how
everyone supports and prays for one another.
We also try to organize Christ-centered events for our children, such
as our annual All Saints’ Day party, where our kids dress up as saints
or biblical characters — our alternative to the usual gory and
ghoul-filled Halloween parties. It’s actually a much-anticipated event,
and the kids always enjoy our saint-themed party games, snacks and
storytelling sessions.
As a Catholic, I believe that God wants all of us to be ROCKERs of
sorts — because He wants us to build our houses “on rock,” i.e., the
firm foundation that is Jesus Christ Himself and His Divine Word. You
don’t need to be a homeschooler to “keep education real,” especially if
we’re talking about educating others about Jesus and His love for us. So
what are you waiting for? Be a ROCKER now! Tina Santiago-Rodriguez (tina@trulyrichmom.com)
Reflection: “Trust in the Lord forever! For the Lord is an eternal Rock.” (Isaiah 26:4)
“I love You, Lord, my strength, Lord, my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my God, my rock of refuge…” — Psalms 18:2
Blessed Jutta of Thuringia, pray for us.
