Mums, take heart.

The world is a scary place right now. The constant smatter of unsettling global events and the fact that society is spiraling faster and faster into absurdity affirms that our children are going to grow up in a very different place than we did during our own childhood. Mums, take heart. Your role is more important than ever right now. Make your home a refuge for your children, make your presence a safe and loving space away from the chaos. Let the gospel encircle your home like a shield. Shelter them from the crumbling world outside, from the absurd ideas and corruption and lies. Social media posts may be censored, but not yet can they censor the precious truths you can speak to your children in your home. Teach them God’s word and have them hide it in their heart, so that they will be prepared for whatever may come. Mums, through the hugs and lessons and meals and bedtimes, show them the greatest hope that humanity has.
