Teach Your Childrren

 

     It’s Brooklyn’s 3^rd birthday today! We are caring for her for a couple of weeks. She is happy and energetic, loves to sing and, of course, boss us around! One of her favorite songs is, “Jesus Loves Me.’ We are grateful our daughters and their husbands are teaching their children about Jesus at an early age.

     Teaching our children and grandchildren about Jesus is a great privilege. The ground will remain secure with Jesus as their foundation. God commands us to teach them.

Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 11:19

     Our children will return to God’s word and His ways, even if they walk away for a time. Listen to this promise.

Train up your children in the way they should go and when they are older, they will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

     Direct them. Teach them. Talk about Jesus when you get up, when you go through your day and before you go to bed. Let Him become a part of daily life, in everything you do.

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 1:4

Lord,

We long to make You number one, to think about You, to pray to You, to read and teach Your word. As we get up each day turn our thoughts and hearts to You. Let us teach our children about You. Happy birthday our sweet girl!

Amen
