What does Christianity have to do with Yoga?

 

Nothing at all!  Christians are called to pray, meditate, do prostrations (metanies) and spend ample time in silence while communicating with God, but please do not confuse any of these acts with Yoga, which is Hindu 'spirituality'.  Its lifestyle is marketed as healthy and new age, but it is actually void of Christian spirituality and doctrine, and filled instead with monotheistic prayers and mantras.  It focuses on self-aquaintedness not connection to God, and on gratitude without repentance - a far cry from Christianity.

To fast or not to fast?

 

If you haven't already got a spiritual father, someone to confess to and to help guide you through difficult situations or decisions, pray that God brings one into your life.  Fasting is one of the things he will likely encourage you to do, not only for yourself, but with and for your family.  There is no nutritional deprivation in fasting, as long as you substitute animal products with other healthy products.  Learn and exemplify the ancient practice of fasting to teach your children how and why to fast, while applying it to their lifestyle.

Mommy Meet Up

 

You are not alone!  There are hundreds if not thousands of mommies just like you who want to share play dates, recipes and a couple of hours at the park or at a cafe, just chatting about the challenges of being a Christian parent in today's fast-paced, seccular society.  Reach out!

Keeping up with the Jonesopoulos'

 

Envy.  It is the root of all sin.  Do we really need to compare ourselves to anyone else, but ourselves?  Challenge only yourself, and you will find fulfillment and success.

Secular or Christian learning materials?

 

As an educator I find it easy to incorporate Christian materials into everyday lessons.  Counting, Seasons, Animals and all kinds of themes can be found right inside your Bible!  Kids love Bible stories!  I suggest starting from Creation, and working your way through the Old Testament, theme by theme.  You may even be surprised at what you pick up during the review!

Relationship Corner!

 

In the midst of raising your child, you might forget about your first love, your spouse.  It is important to mutually engage in parenting decisions and activities, and to respect each other as you grow into the new role of parenting.

What kind of music is healthy for my child?

 

Take it from someone who was in the industry, it is centred around money, money money.  What did Jesus say about money?  He said render it so Ceasar; it is not God's.  Instead of what may be most popular, seek out music that glorifies God, that children will also enjoy, like VeggieTales!

Stamina, Patience, Repeat!


Our Lord Jesus Christ demonstrated that patience is paramount in humanity.  Remember to breathe, and give yourself lots of forgiveness during moments of unwanted relent and afterward.  There is a learning curb, but try your best, keep up your stamina and be patient in the beautiful process of parenting.
