With this said, I know we aren't perfect people, but God knows that and He wants us to do the best we can and repent from our sins that we do commit. Deuteronomy 6:2 wants us to keep passing these commandments down from generation to generation. Just because our children grow up and leave doesn't mean we stop teaching them. We are still called to guide and pray for them and then when we have grandchildren we instill in them our values as well. This message obviously hit home for me because I can't quit thinking about it and felt the need to blog about it. Another couple of ideas to lay the path for our children was to have a special devotion time with them as a family, teach them to pray and pray for them and with them. God wants us to, as Proverbs 6:22 says, Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. This message preached today was a collection of all the thoughts in my head. This is basically what Tim and I had made for our resolution for this year. We want our children to grow up and honor God and do something that only God has called them to do. Even though we started homeschooling for another reason, God has laid on my heart to instill in my children every morning what an awesome God He is and that He is the real reason we home school. Will you please pray for us to be the godly examples our children need us to be?
