"Savior Like A Shepherd Lead Us." Dear Mothers, Do Your Children Hear His Voice?

Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me."

Dearest Mothers,
Please teach your children to listen to the Lord Jesus. His sheep hear His voice and follow Him!
"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand."(John 10:27-28)

"Savior Like A Shepherd Lead Us"

Savior, like a shepherd lead us, much we need Thy tender care;
In Thy pleasant pastures feed us, for our use Thy folds prepare.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are.
We are Thine, Thou dost befriend us, be the guardian of our way;
Keep Thy flock, from sin defend us, seek us when we go astray.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! Hear, O hear us when we pray.
Thou hast promised to receive us, poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us, grace to cleanse and power to free.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! We will early turn to Thee.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! We will early turn to Thee.
Early let us seek Thy favor, early let us do Thy will;
Blessèd Lord and only Savior, with Thy love our bosoms fill.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.
Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus! Thou hast loved us, love us still.

Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
(Psalm 80:1-3)

Mothers, Teach Your Children To Think About Jesus All The Time !

Dearest Mothers,
Life is so short! I remember an old saying, "One life will soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last."

One life will soon be past.. Have you thought about that very much?

One day your children will be grown and leave home.

One day you may find yourself looking into a mirror and thinking, I was once young.

One day you may wonder where the time went and how you spent your years.

One day you will die and face your Creator...

One life will soon be past.

"Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near of which you will say, "I have no pleasure in them"... before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. . . The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil." (Ecc 12:1-7,13,14)

Remember God, our Creator!

It seems to me many, many people have forgotten their Creator, in fact it seems they would like to avoid remembering Him all together. A person can forget God and ignore His promptings to think about Him or seek Him by keeping busy with numerous activities. For most people it is more comfortable to play a game, watch a video, do crafts, be "busy" on the computer, do sports, go shopping, visit friends, go to church and church activities, etc... But remember our Creator? Do you doubt this? What is it we women talk about when visiting with a friend, in a group meeting/gathering, at home with our children, or with our husband? Is it about our Creator Jesus Christ? Is He prominent in our conversations?

How can we expect our children to think about Jesus Christ the Lord and love Him if we don't? Our children are watching and learning from us.


If we say,"Oh I do remember God every day! I talk to Him and read the Bible almost everyday. I love Him!" But as the old saying goes, "Actions speak louder than words." How does your daily living show that you love Jesus and remember Him?

Think about a young girl newly engaged and in love. Her mind is on the young man she is going to marry and wants to talk to him and of him all the time. It does not take very long to learn what is important to a person. If the Lord Jesus is in your mind all the time, you are going to want to talk about Him.

We say we love Jesus and to obey Him is important to us. We sing, "He is everything to me." But please, please take a serious look at what you are communicating to your children. Does Jesus Christ the Lord saturate your day? Do you talk about Him in your daily activities and living ? Do your children know that life should be centered around Him in work, play, meals, sleep, and in all things we do?

Are you reminding your children daily that He is their Creator and we owe everything to Him, even our breath? It is not possible to talk about Jesus Christ the Lord too much!


We need to obey God in training our children properly for Him. Get away from the Worldly ideas of teaching your children through entertainment, empty books and recordings that forsake the truth about God. They deny any knowledge of God and actually produce an anti-God spirit. Even things that might seem cute or harmless can be wrong if they are replacing the things of God.

Teach them God's way! Remember your Creator! Point them to Him daily and continually! Please read this scripture carefully and pray for wisdom in training your children for Him.:

"You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth." (Deuteronomy 11:18-21)


Our children need to learn the truth about God. He is most important in every aspect of life. Nothing compares to Jesus Christ and knowing Him. All else pales in value and excitement. Why waste time in things that are perishing when we can invest our lives in eternal things! Teach these eternal things to your children!

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2Co 4:18)


HE knows our thoughts...

"O LORD, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether"...
(Psalm 139:1-4)



Mothers..........get serious about raising your children for Jesus,

One life will soon be past.
Only what is done for Christ will last!

Mothers, Teach The Bible and The Things of God Diligently To Your Children

Dearest Mothers,

Are you a godly mother that wants her children to grow up knowing whom they can go to in life's distress and trials?

Do you want to point your children to the only One who can save them and deliver them from, the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh and the pride of life?

If you are that kind of mother then I plead with you to take the Word of God seriously and apply it to your life and in training your children for Him.

How? Follow God, not man. Follow God's word and His teachings. To sum it up, Obey GOD!

Let's take a look at the Word of GOD to see how important this is.

Firstly look at Psalms 78:

"I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old, things that we have heard and known, that our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers to teach to their children, that the next generation might know them, the children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God". (Psa 78:2-8)

We have the Bible to tell us the things of old, "Dark sayings from old."(Here dark means "deep". )

"Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come."(1Co 10:11)
We have the Old Testament and the stories so rich in the power of God for an example to us. (Did you catch that? EXAMPLE TO US.)

Read Wonderful Bible stories to your children. Please avoid the cartoon type character Bible stories, these may impress the child with a feeling of pretending, they simply are not serious. The Word of God and Bible stories should be received with great respect and gravity of mind. An excellent Bible story book for children that I have found is, "The Bible in Picture For Little Eyes." by Kennith Taylor. The older publication is best, which might be found on a used book site.

Do not hide the things of God from your children! Tell the children of how God moved and proved Himself faithful to the Children of GOD in the Bible. Tell them of examples in your own life and others the powerful working of GOD. Speak to them often about it! Read wonderful Missionary stories of how God worked and moved through their lives.

"Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children's children-- (Deu 4:9)
"tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done."

We should tell them:
"so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments; and that they should not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose heart was not steadfast, whose spirit was not faithful to God". (Psa 78:2-8)

Oh precious mothers! Please ask God to help you to get a hold of this understanding! IT IS POSSIBLE to teach your children the way of the Lord in this day and age. YES! God would never instruct you to do something that was not reachable. In Him you can do it!

"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." (Deu 6:5-9)

Oh I'm so earnest for you!

"For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober."(1Th 5:5-6)

Be sober dear mothers! Follow GOD diligently!
