We don’t live just for ourselves. If our beliefs and values that we hold so dearly only enrich our own lives, it is not enough. Many of us are passionate about homeschooling because of the realization that our lives are only a brief moment and what we pass on to the next generation may possibly live forever<\/strong> in the lives of our descendants, generation by generation. If we really believe in something, we want to pass it on!<\/p>\n

What better way to “pass it on” than teaching and loving your children!?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Pass It On<\/h4>\n

Have you had a kindness shown?
\nPass it on.
\n‘Twas not given for you alone,
\nPass it on.
\nLet it travel down the years,
\nLet it wipe another’s tears,
\n‘Till in heaven the deed appears-
\nPass it on.<\/p>\n

Did you hear the loving word?
\nPass it on.
\nLike the singing of a bird?
\nPass it on.
\nLet its music live and grow,
\nLet it cheer another’s woe
\nYou have reaped what others sow,
\nPass it on.<\/p>\n

‘Twas the sunshine of a smile\u2014
\nPass it on.
\nStaying but a little while!
\nPass it on.
\nApril beam’s a little thing,
\nStill it wakes the flowers of spring,
\nMakes the silent birds to sing,
\nPass it on.<\/p>\n

Have you found the heavenly light?
\nPass it on.
\nSouls are groping in the night.
\nDaylight gone-
\nHold thy lighted lamp on high,
\nBe a star in someone’s sky;
\nHe may live who else would die\u2014
\nPass it on.<\/p>\n

Be not selfish in thy greed,
\nPass it on.
\nLook upon thy brother’s need,
\nPass it on.
\nLive for self you live in vain,
\nLive for Christ, you live again.
\nLive for Him, with Him you reign,
\nPass it on.<\/p>\n
