Best rate of return....

Scott sent me an email he had sent on to a friend today...copied me in on part of the note....as I scrolled down to see the email conversations this is what I found at the very bottom.   For those of you who do not know, we decided to take a leap of faith and switch the boys all to Des Moines Christian School this year from the Waukee public schools.  Many many reasons played out, but most of all we had prayed for many years over the decision.

And for those of you who do not know, my husband is a fairly conservative guy with money.  So the money portion of this decision played a large role into the decision.

But in the end we felt it was most important for our boys to grow DEEP roots of their own in their faith walk.  And to be sure their faiths were not ours, they were owned by them.  We feel confident that if their faiths are theirs and God's word is hidden in their hearts we will have done our jobs as parents well.   And the school played a part in what we feel, will help them with that root system.

His note touched me...with his comment on investing.  Hope it touches your hearts too.  And boys when you read this blog someday, know how you are our greatest investment in this world.  And know how very much we LOVE and adore YOU.

Note from Scott to friend:

We (Susan and I) think you guys need to consider Des Moines Christian for your boys! It is all about equipping them to lead their families in what is becoming a very difficult Iowa. Can you believe today? It is hard to watch the news! 
  
Pray about it! That is how we decided to spend the money. At the end of the day it is an investment. If I came to you today and asked you where you could get your best rate of return on your money? What would you say? I would contend that your best rate of return would be on money spent on those two boys that share your name. 
  
Something to consider
