I do happen to know a little bit about the topic they’re covering here. I just want to say, if you have pre-teen or teen girls and you live in driving distance, you won’t want to let this opportunity slip by without taking full advantage. In a world where the devil is trying so hard to get our kids, his deception is not always glaring for our girls. And, oh sister, it’s a bazillion times easier to get to heaven if we spend our time purposefully preparing for holiness at every encounter, than if we spend our lives trying to undo decisions we jumped into before fully counting the cost. Regret is full of pain.
The devil, who sometimes comes to our girls, is tall, dark and handsome, creative and clever, and he drives up in a cool sports car. He catches eyes and makes them tingle on the inside. He makes them believe his lies before they have time to examine consequences. I mean, who is thinking about future children’s souls when the man, the movie, and the moment are making a girl feel like she is loved and wanted by a guy, maybe for the first time?
As Christian parents, we have to do a lot of preparatory work for the mate-choosing time. People who merely fall in love, sometimes hit the ground hard. People who build love on precepts from God have a built-in safety net. Oh, it can still be rough, at times. But God reserves his very best for those who are intentionally seeking holiness. His word discerns the intents of our hearts even in these most important decisions. This day will be that word for your children in a fun and safe environment. It will help you, too, Mama!
