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!
