    31| Teach us to Number Our Days: A Devotional for Homeschooling Moms

    This episode of Grace for Motherhood is a devotional for Christian homeschool moms who feel tired, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin—but still long to nurture their children’s faith and create a home rooted in Christ. Let's reflect on Psalm 90:12, “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom,” and explore what it means to live intentionally instead of reacting instinctively in the everyday moments of motherhood. When the days feel long and the years feel short, it’s easy to respond out of habit or frustration. Drawing on Proverbs 14:1, let's consider how the wise woman builds her home with intention, prayer, and love.
