Rosa of Linden Castle
|
I started a new Lamplighter book today called "Rosa of Linden Castle". These books are such treasures! I have only read 17 pages and this is some of the Godly wisdom so far....... "The woman sought to cultivate a habit of cheerful and ready obedience in her daughter, from her earliest childhood; "for," she said, "self-will is the greatest barrier to all that is good. A child must first learn to submit it's own will to the will of it's parents; then it will be better prepared and more ready to submit it's own will to the will of God; for if it yield not obedience to, and acquiesce not in the will of itj's parents, whom it constantly sees, how shall it yield obedience to acquiesce in the will of God, whom it does not see?" " This advice is always woven into the story, part of the characters, so you are really living it along with the character, and understanding it in light of their experiences. This is done in such a skillful way that you immediately apply the lesson or truth to your own life. If you haven't read any of these books yet I HIGHLY recommend them. You won't find better read-alouds out there. Blessings, Amy Deuteronomy8:3b......people need more than bread for their life; real life comes by feeding on every word of the Lord. |
