ISAIAH CHAPTER 12
1     ¶ And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise thee: though thou wast angry with me, thine anger is turned away, and thou comfortedst me.
2     Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.
3     Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
4     ¶ And in that day shall ye say, Praise the LORD, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that his name is exalted.
5     Sing unto the LORD; for he hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6     Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.



LUKE 21:34
 
    And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.



Untamed Thistles
 
    This Lamplighter book conveys a powerful message, and while the approach to it is very gentle, it is still an excellent tool for instruction in self control.  It is suitable for, but not limited to, the young.  The simple style and  believable characters of Untamed Thistles made it difficult to put down once I began to read. 
    This wonderfully written story makes our need for the Saviour so clear, showing the reader how insufficient and temporary our own efforts are to overcome sin in our lives, and shows plainly that even the very young need the atonement of Christ to be saved.
    Untamed Thistles also introduces children to the sometimes dreadful and tragic consequences of anger.  It makes one realize that without the fear of God in our hearts, we are all capable of causing harm when we are angry.

 Getting Rich
 
    Exposing only one of the many dangers of desiring wealth and being rich and idle in this world, Getting Rich is a great way to introduce the topic of finances with children who like the idea of having lots of money. 
    It is only a beginning, though,  because most people think they can "handle" the wealth they desire, but I am reminded of the words of Agur in Proverbs 30:8 & 9, where he prays "...give me neither poverty nor riches;...Lest I be full, and deny thee,...or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain." 
        At the end of the story, which is very short, there are many scripture references from Proverbs and Ecclesiastes concerning finances, but I think there should be some from other books, too, such as Corinthians, for example.
      All in all, Getting Rich is excellent food for thought.
 
    Lamplighter Publishing has agreed to send me a free copy of Untamed Thistles (which includes Getting Rich) in exchange for my writing a review of the same.  A link to their website follows.
