Raising Daniels from The Joy Box
A lovely friend of mine and mother of three has recently begun writing a series of posts on “Raising Daniels“, which looks at the book of Daniel through the lens of the character traits we should seek to be instilling in our children. The book of Daniel contains many prophecies regarding the end of the age, which she mentions was a real motivation for examining the way we raise the next generation.
According to Biblical prophecy, we really ARE in the end times. We are nearing the very last days before the return of Christ…our children will be living in the last days. They will not be pretty days. And they will not be easy days…
The character of Daniel in the Bible is truly inspiring to me as a parent. Reading about his life, his experiences, his integrity, his courage, his faith – it has given me a vision for my job as a mother. It has motivated me to get off my butt and do a good job. It has helped me to focus on what matters most. It has reminded me of the power my children hold in their little hearts, and the power I have as their mother to influence them in ways that could literally save their lives.
It’s really fantastic and I wanted to let you all know about it, so go visit her at The Joy Box and check it out!
