Teach Your Children Well

I like the title of this retreat - Leading in Jesus' Name. Who better to lead with? When God is in our corner marvelous things will happen.

Just tonight I had a short and sweet talk with my four men. In case you don't know, they are 19-24 years of age. Fall is here with winter on its heels. The air is already cooler. We have an abundance of clothes in this house - clothes that no one will ever wear. I thought of those clothes as "the harvest." And the laborers are indeed few, but they needn't be. Hopefully, I planted a seed tonight. My sons are too big for me to go through their clothes; they have to do it. I will keep bugging them until they do so. That's one of my small missions this week. Mom, the agitator - just one of many hats I wear!

We all must strive to be "the Body of Christ at work in the world." And for us moms our primary world is our home. Be the Body of Christ at home. Teach your children well.
