Mothers like Isaac's wife Rachel ( Jacob & Esau ) are symbolic of the quote, as are many mothers I personally know.<br /><br />I am studying I Samuel with a group of ladies and really, the sons of Eli & Samuel were spoiled sons who were not held accountable and responsible for very bad things. As mothers we should be willing to teach our sons & daughters and also not give them a pass for or enable sin in their lives, but instead pray for them, teach them, and if they persist in what the Bible clearly says is sin, confront them in love, the love a parent has for a child. The love that would rather risk severing a relationship than allow a beloved child to think he / she has our approval or indifference to their indulging in sin.KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-84041095223450970522013-05-13T23:49:00.029-04:002013-05-13T23:49:00.029-04:00Sandra, as always, your verses and quotes strike h...Sandra, as always, your verses and quotes strike home and encourage and challenge. Ah, Mr. Spurgeon, though--it's so very hard not to dote on your children and grandchildren. Maybe his definition of "dote" was different from mine!
