Do you receive the daily newsletter from Rebecca Lavrenz, THE J6 PRAYING GRANDMA. I would encourage you to get this. Here is a little snippet from the other day:
“Leaving the hotel room this morning to watch my nine-year-old grandson's baseball game, I saw a family of geese. The little goslings followed closely beside their papa and mama. This visual hit me of how important family is to God since we see it even in nature. I was reminded of hearing David Barton's voice in the Constitution Alive classes with Rick Green: "The American Founders recognized the “Law of Nature and Nature's God." Even that family of ducks were teaching me God's laws today.
And then my mind went back to over 35 years ago when I had first started homeschooling . . . when it wasn't popular. I even had a truant officer knock on my door one day. Around that time, when my children were about the ages my youngest grandchildren are now, I was having a particularly trying time handling the negativity with homeschooling from someone close to me.
In the midst of the confusion in my head and offense in my heart, wondering if I could hear God at all, I was taking something out of the oven for lunch and the thought clearly came to me: "You're teaching your children that family is important." I never forgot those words from the Lord!
And now, all these years later, family truly HAS become a very important value to all of my children. My two sons are both married, have children of their own whom they are homeschooling and my two daughters are looking forward to the day they too will be married and have their own families to "train up in the way they should go" (Proverbs 22:6)
When I went into our U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, it was out of obedience to God. In the rotunda that day I was thinking of my grandchildren and the LIBERTIES and TRUTHS that I wanted to help retain for them to enjoy. I was thinking, generationally. I was thinking of wanting a godly nation. I was thinking of what was on God's heart for the families of this nation.
God is the one who designed family, and in restoring the family and teaching the rising generation as His word commands we will again enjoy the blessings He has promised. However, it is conditional in that we must love God with ALL of our hearts. We must give Him our ALL!
“Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, that you may fear the Lord your God, to keep ALL His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your sons and your grandsons, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. Therefore hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe it, that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply greatly as the Lord God of your fathers has promised you—‘a land flowing with milk and honey.’ “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with ALL your heart, with ALL your soul, and with ALL your strength. “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up” (Deuteronomy 6:1-7 NKJV).
When we love God with ALL our hearts, then we WILL follow His commands to teach the next generation His ways, we WILL raise up generations that know Him, and we WILL . . .
Make America Godly Again!
Building generationally,
Rebecca Lavrenz
