Life Insurance For Our Children :)

Like many, when I had children, I bought life insurance. I wanted to ensure that our home would be paid for so that they would all have it-always and forever ?

But the truth is, my purchasing life insurance only ensured they would have a home on earth.  It did nothing to ensure their home in Heaven.  And that is their real home. And it’s their forever home 🙂

As a wise friend reminded me, we are “in this world”, but “not of it”.  So what are we to do, we who love our children so much, more than we ever thought possible?

We can pray for our children – every day!  And we need to teach our children to accept and follow Jesus to Heaven.  Especially in the world in which we currently live.

We’ve all heard teenagers cry, “aw mom, you already told me that”.  Tell them again. And then, tell them again…

The love a Mother has for her child is all consuming.  It reaches to our very core.  And if you need someone who truly understands what that is like- Mary does ? If they hurt, we hurt.  If they are sick, we suffer for them.  If they cry, we cry for them.  It’s hard to imagine how anyone could love them more, but God does.  And as a Mom, I take great comfort in that ?

If we are willing to invest in insurance to help them here on earth, then how much more should we invest in “insurance” to help them with their faith?

And the best insurance we can give them, in addition to teaching them about Jesus and the Bible, is Prayer. We can Pray for them every single day.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”-Proverbs 22:6
