Found this on twitter, “Disciple like Jesus” posted these two, and I wanted to share!

 

“A true Christian must not be a slave to what’s currently ‘in-fashion,’ if he wants to train his child for heaven. He must not be content to teach them and instruct them in certain ways, merely because it is customary, or to allow them to read books of a questionable sort, merely because everybody else reads them, or to let them form bad habits, merely because they are the habits of the day. ~ JC Ryle”

 

I 100% agree with this! 

 

“(A parent) must train with an eye to his children’s souls. He must not be ashamed to hear his training called odd and strange. What if it is? The time is short—the customs of this world are passing away. He that has trained his children for heaven, rather than for the earth—for God, rather than for man—he is the parent that will be called wise in the end. ~ JC Ryle”

 

And that post as well!  I think as christians, we have to be able and ready to accept that people may call us wacky or strange.  It’s hard to deal with sometimes, especially if you’re a lonely stay at home mom, but so worth it.  After all, the big picture is that this earth is only a “blink of an eye”….

 

God bless and enjoy your day!!!!!!!
