I get so excited when I see a new copy of TEACH Magazine in my stack of mail! It's hard not to stop what I'm doing and sit down and read it cover to cover!
God's timing is perfect. This time when I sat down to read, God knew I needed these articles. One article especially, by Audrey McKeever entitled, "In Be'teen Times" really helped me. I have a very strong-willed son who is 15 right now and and I needed that article! As well as all the other articles that remind me that even these teen years will go by far too fast and I need to embrace them.
I loved this fall's magazine because it puts our focus on where it needs to be: On asking God for help in our homes and our homeschools. This life we live cannot be lived well without supernatural intervention from our God. This magazine helps me keep my eyes on God and not on the problem!
Prayer was a big message of this issue. When we are in trouble -- pray. When we rejoice -- pray. When we are sad -- pray. When we need to know what to do -- pray. If only we would all pray more. How many of our problems would be solved?
I think about things that are happening in ministries in our nation right now, sin in the church being exposed, and my heart just breaks. It scares me for my children. How will they be able to overcome temptation if a great pastor isn't able to? This is not the same evil world we grew up in. It has gotten worse each generation. Our kids are only a click or phone call away from temptation.
How can they keep their eyes from seeing vile things? How can we keep their ears from hearing things they shouldn't hear when they begin to grow up and get out on their own? How will their feet stay on the straight and narrow path?
Prayer for mothers has got to be as real to us as breathing. I am convinced it is the prayers of mothers that has kept many a child from the flames of hell.
Thanks, T.E.A.C.H. for reminding me!!
