“Just perfect for getting your teenager out of the house,” I have been reading for the first time not all that long ago on the cabin.

But today I am reading about a man who had for 18 years his 4 teenagers in his home. What does he say about those years?

He says that he remembers plenty of challenges and demands. They zapped his strength and the strength of his wife at times and took all their reserves, emotionally and mentally. He mentions also the turmoil of rebellion and the struggles through it.

He says also that during those 18 years of parenting, he learned some lessons.

Here are three:

• Love your children unconditionally.
• Help your children learn to love “The Book of Books”, the Bible.
• Show your children how to have a deep love for the Lord Jesus Christ.

But he does not say that one of those cabins is “Just perfect for getting your teenager out of the house ,” but he says, “For 18 years, our home was blessed by the presence of teenagers,” because he is a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ.
