HEROES OF FAITH(SUSANNA WESLEY)

Fame does not always accompany heroism. Susanna Wesley is a wonderful example of a true heroine who lived a quiet, yet influential life. Throughout her lifetime, Susanna exemplified perseverance, strength, and humbleness, constantly honoring God, especially in her role as a mother. Born in 1669 and the youngest of twenty-five children, Susanna. Never had the opportunity to obtain a formal education. Nonetheless, she devoted herself to the task of teaching her nineteen children at home. Susanna kept a strong faith in God, enduring with grace the devastation of losing nine of her children to early deaths and the complete destruction of two horrible house fires, one of which necessitated placing her children into separate homes for nearly two years, afterward when the family reunited, Susanna was mortified at her children's improper speech, neglected studies and worst of all, lack of daily fellowship with God. Quickly taking charge, Susanna taught all her children Latin and Greek, tutored them all in classical studies, and helped them mature in their Christian faith.

       Susanna continues to inspire many others today, Two of her sons, JOHN  and CHARLES, became famous enough and influential men in the Christian church.

Susanna embodied all the qualities, her parenting changed the WORLD.

God bless you,

Have a nice weekend.
