I have to keep the my family going. We have not held back from our 14 and 16 year of daughters. The 14 year old thinks she is going to lose things in her life. I keep point to scripture to show her what she will gain. She having problems with having to leave her nonbeliever friends behind. She wants to save them all. We keep telling her she can only point the way and Jesus does the rest. I remember the years I had ahead but today's youth have to be strong in a shorter amount of time. I admire them. I also let them know I do.
INDEED.
I see toddlers and shrudder what it must be like as a parent in this era knowing what I know.
However, God cares about them more than I do and is better able to care for them.
He has a plan.
Yet, even His word says . . . pray your flight not be in winter . . . woe to them giving suck at the time etc.
Sure takes Holy Spirit to know how and what to teach kids about what’s looming.
I think Francis Schaeffer had a lot to say about teaching kids to be tough believers in a crazy sinful hostile world and culture.
