I didn't think I'd have a Laudable Linkage since dealing with my husband's surgery this week and not having much time on the computer. But I did have a draft started and a couple of links to add, so here we are!
You Are not Invisible to God. HT to Challies. "My daughter, in her power chair changes how I look at others. People once invisible to me, catch my eye now. I can see them with my heart." I love the example shared here.
The Joy of Knowledge, HT to Challies. "The more we learn about God, the more we can appreciate what we see of him in the scriptures and in the world. Becoming more and more familiar with the details of his personality, his character, his likes and dislikes will allow us to see him more clearly and love him more deeply. Some may object that this is just head knowledge and relationships are more than that. That's true. But they're not less than that."
5 Simple Ways to Teach Faith to Your Children. "Thankfully, long before Sunday school and professional Christian workers, God provided simple guidelines to help parents raise their children in the faith. This model has worked for centuries—even millennia—as Old Testament believers passed on their faith to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, down through the ages and into today."
10 Ways Your Pastor Wishes You Would Pray for Him. This is good any time, but especially now since October is Pastor Appreciation Month.
Book Club for Kids: No Stress Fun with Stories and Friends. "Since my student teaching days many moons ago, book club has been my favorite way of engaging kids with others and with story. The benefits include the schoolish things you would expect (comprehension, vocabulary, ability to articulate opinion, etc.), but they also reach far beyond that. A call to responsibility, a sense of belonging, and a stirring of compassion are all wrapped up in the wonderful package deal that is book club. I've seen these benefits come to fruition in both classroom and homeschool settings, with peers, with mixed aged groups, and even with multi-generational groups." Love these ideas!
An Update on Lars Gren, Elisabeth Elliot's third husband. That article also referenced Forget Me Not: Loving God's Aging Children, a pamphlet Elisabeth wrote when her mother faced dementia.
If you like Christian fiction set in WW2, I'm giving away a couple of books in that category here.
