Instilling a Godly Heritage

The Duggar family, who have 18 children, has been a source of inspiration to many so I wanted to include these videos of them in The Christian Mother Series to give you all an idea of what all of our children are capable of. Their parents, Michelle and Jim Bob, are doing their best to instill a godly heritage in their children and likewise, we should do the same. The videos are not of highest quality but you can still get the picture:

The Duggar children recite scripture at a church they were visiting:

We have seen other children do this and have been blessed and *refreshed* by their ministries. See how small the tiny ones are on the end? Yes, mothers, even the smallest of children can recite long passages of scripture! And I love how they added in the hand signs--I think that is important in keeping it fun for them. Imagine the invested time it took their parents to teach this. Remember--they have 18 children. Most of us only have two or three. If they can do something like this with so many, we should not think we cannot. If they can do this with their limited time due to their bigger family size, what are WE squandering our precious hours away with????? I definitely believe we would be wise to learn from their diligent and steadfast example.

The Duggar girls perform hymns on violin:



Here they minister with siblings:



Young men and women should find ways to serve the Lord with their talents. Too many children today are wasting their precious time in frivolous pursuits---knowing the hottest bands, keeping up with the newest clothes trends, worrying about being like their peers, watching the latest movie....in the end, all these things are meaningless. Instead, they should be about the business of the Lord, growing in Him, learning about Him, serving others, growing their skills and mastering them for the Kingdom.

A godly heritage is priceless and worth the time and sacrifices of all Christian parents, let us be found diligently faithful a in cultivating and providing it.
