“While we are making study attractive
and life enjoyable to a child,
we should see to it that the child learns
to keep quiet at specified times,
and to be active at other times,
that he studies assigned lessons,
does set tasks,
denies himself craved indulgences;
not because he wants to do these things,
but because he must.”
- H. Clay Trumbull, Hints on Child Training
“One of the greatest powers for good is a family
whose members respect each other
and who have learned to function, however poorly,
with the rich concepts the Word of God
gives us as human beings.
It is almost incredible to think of
the stabilizing effect ordinary families can have:
not only for themselves,
but as a light in a troubled generation.”
- Susan Schaeffer Macaulay, For the Children’s Sake
“And let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap
if we do not lose heart.”
- Galatians 6:9
