Learning from Others’ Mistakes
“…If you keep your gaze fixed on the affairs of life, you will ride a roller coaster of emotions. Elation, fear, and all the feelings in between may cause you to respond without depending on God and fully considering the consequences.
When you focus on God, who is the only one who knows the times and seasons, you will develop a peaceful confidence no matter what happens. The more disciplined you are in fixing your eyes on Jesus, the more the Lord will teach you to rest in His sovereignty over life’s events. And when your child observes your calm assurance in Christ, he will learn—from your example—how to trust the Lord in all the circumstances of his life…”

If you are going to raise children who will have a positive influence on the integrity of his generation, it must begin with you. It is vital you teach your son by example—right is right no matter what the cost.
As a mother, you exert a tremendous amount of influence on how your child will grow up. If you determine to raises your children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, you will have a profound influence on a new generation––isn’t that exciting?

How differently might your children influence tomorrow’s events if you commit to raising them with strong moral qualities? With your words and actions, will you answer that call?*
