From the Pastor:
THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE STILL RULES
Susanna Wesley remains an example of one woman’s benefit to God’s kingdom by concentrating on her family. She was willing to endure whatever hardships for her children’s Godly education. She rocked 19 children, and 2 of those (John & Charles) rocked their day.
Quotes of her wisdom in spiritual child-raising include the following:
“…I resolved first to begin with my children.”
“’Lord, here are the children which Thou hast given me, of whom I have lost
none by my ill example, nor by neglecting to instill into their minds, in their
early years, the principles of Thy true religion and virtue’!”
“In order to form the minds of children, the first thing to be done is to conquer
their will and bring them to an obedient temper…the subjecting of the will is
a thing that must be done at once, and the sooner the better, for by
neglecting timely correction they will contract a stubbornness and obstinacy.
“As self-will is the root of all sin and misery…whatever checks and mortifies it,
promotes their future happiness and piety.”
“…the children were always put in a regular method of living…”
(5:00 am Psalms & OT > 6 hours of schooling > 6:00pm family prayer/supper
& individual conversation with each child before bed every night)
Susanna Wesley simply concentrated on her family and changed the church, the nation, and influenced the world. A Godly mother dedicated to the Kingdom of God can still “rule the world” from her home through her physical and spiritual children.
