Susanna's Rule

"Take this rule: whatever weakens your reason, impairs the tenderness of your conscience, obscures your sense of God, or takes off your relish of spiritual things; in short, whatever increases the strength and authority of your body over your mind, that thing is sin to you, however innocent it may be in itself."

~ Susanna Wesley (Letter, June 8, 1725)

What a godly mother she was! Oh that I could have had that kind of influence on my children!
