More Important Than Plato
“If one of our children had an IQ off the charts, was able to read Plato, Aristotle and both the Old and New Testaments in the original languages, memorized the Bible and became a beloved world leader who brought peace to our world, but did not know and serve the living and true God, we as parents would have failed to accomplish our goal. On the other hand, if for some reason, one of our children was never able to read or write and yet loved and served God and applied His Word to all aspects of life then we have succeeded as parents.” YES, it is in this spirit that I agree with the hope and goal of this statement, with just one caveat.

I think it's important that we remember that WE can't make our children followers of God…but teaching them how to be and what that means should be our driving goal in all else.

This is a subject most dear to my heart…We have a son with special needs..I have actually just started a series of postings on my blog about him and are journey…He didn't speak until about 4-5 yrs of age and even then it was mainly jargon..but oh how my heart cried out to the Living God..My Lord and my Saviour..Oh Lord if nothing else..if he is to never speak or be able to perform even the smallest job in society please just have him know and Love You..He is now 15 yrs old and Loves and Serves the Lord..He is still delayed in speech and understanding but he is in Love with his maker..and the Lord let me see and know it..That has transpired into are other children's lives as well..
In Christ,
