This was very encouraging for me as a mother of three busy little boys (and their wonderful big sister). Since reading this post at the beginning of the month I’ve been trying to read a chapter of proverbs each day. I’ve been able to look at them with different eyes, thinking about how the proverbs can be so important to hide in their little hearts, and mine as well. Thanks again!

Hi Nancy,

I have a question for you. In reference to- “Sons are to be brought up wearing Mom’s law like an ornament around their necks.”

That passage struck me when I read it. My first assumption was that this means he ought to be proud of the law his mother gave him, much like King Lemuel was, shown by his repeating of it.

But, because I am not sure of that I wanted to ask.

Nancy, I am kind of amazed at the timing of this particular post! Praise God! Just yesterday I was talking with another mother about our teen sons. I gave her the address for Femina, telling her I thought she would be very encouraged by the devotions you all have been blessing us with this year. I’m sure this one will be especially meaningful for her.. as it to me.

Biblical parenting advice is inspiring and helpful no matter the age of your kids – even (and sometimes especially) when they are no longer little ones, but young men and ladies. Although my 17 and 15 year old are capable of making wise and responsible decisions, they still need and desire the love, physical affection, and wisdom that my husband and I give them. The reminders you all have given regarding listening to them, admonishing them, respecting them, and taking time for them bear repeating, no matter how many times they’ve been said before.

Thank you!

Thank you, again, Nancy! Just the encouragement I needed to get busy on my book of ‘Mom’s Little Tidbits of Wisdom’ for my nearly grown son. He’d asked me to write out some of the ideas and thoughts I’ve talked about with him. I’ve had it in the works and been jotting notes for some time, but not gotten it in ‘sharable’ form. Your post reminded me that though it’s not urgent, it’s terribly important to complete. Thank you!

And I look forward to reading your daily posts. They are often used by God to encourage or admonish me, or give me something to share with those around me.
