Will your heal crush the serpents in your life?

“I too am a man under authority.”
The recognition of Christ’s authority over the wind and the waves, when God gives you personal authority in the family.

No, You will not be a cowboy, Mr. Day insisted.{chapter one LWF} Yes, you will eat that oatmeal, to another child, he insists. The father sees what is for the good of body and economy. Mother is more often aware about soul and emotion. What comforts the tender heart and body and what dries the tears. God said, if you make a vow, your father can disallow it in heaven. He knows that you are young and that you are not able to fulfill what you speak with your mouth. How many fathers take mention of what their children vow and even think? We have separated the family so that every man to himself is the mantra. Learning to grow together and not be those who hang ourselves individually. The establishment and growth of community from individuals and families is a mysterious happening.

The serpent slithers, often alone. The mother gathers her brood and does all to promote the unity of the seemingly ununifyable. Clarence Day expresses the differences between himself and his brothers their different bents, attitudes and ambitions. The only unity, it seemed was their mother.

What happens when the moon turns to blood? {I think the reference is to when the mother has an option of abortion to deliberate, in her weakest state} In scriptural terms. Is there a unifying factor for the family if mother is not there to referee the wrestling match? I think not! The conflict between the serpent and the woman is significant in the spiritual battle. Will you stand against the serpent’s wiles in your home or let him reign?
