RSS FeedPlanting the WORD, Reaping...
Friday, November 9, 2007
I was at a friend's blog tonight, and I was reminded of a chunk of wisdom a dear friend once imparted me, and I had to share it:
A friend of mine once described putting the WORD in as planting a good seed that, as it grows and fluorishes, it pushes the bad weeds up and out. And, that is not easy, either. We are talking about roots that we let grow in our children's lives that we must replace with the WORD and allow the WORD to work out the bad... and help and nurture as it is pushed out. The moral was that, just remember: the more of the WORD you put in, the more weeds will surface. Don't give up when you see them. Just know that the weeds will be gone and the WORD is going to be what is left very soon.
As you read your children the Word daily, they will love it, and when you tie in anything they love or love to do that is not edifying, they will see that God does have a way... a way we must follow, even if we don't like it.
There are many things that adults still have to deny themselves... it does not hurt to teach our children that. It does not hurt to *make* them do what they don't want to, if necessary!! As amatter of fact, we are commanded, as parents to train our children up in the Lord, so we mustmake them do it sometimes, for their own good and God's glory!
blessings! -Jacque
