You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. —Deuteronomy 6:7
Dearest Ethan,
Mummy read somewhere that you mimic most of what you see in us - words and deeds. We also form your images of GOD from the images you have of us as parents. If we're stern and unmerciful, you're likely to see GOD that way too. It is one of Mummy's most important duties as parents to help you see GOD clearly, especially the unconditional nature of his love.
Love ya always,
Mummy!
May the Lord grant us an understanding of Him and the wisdom to pass it on. — Randy Kilgore
We must teach our children clearly
What is right and what is wrong;
Live before them an example—
Godly, righteous, pure, and strong. —Fitzhugh
To teach your children well, let God teach you.

DeleteHi Carol, I came over from SMB on FB. Welcome :) My son's name is Ethan too. And yes, we have an awesome responsibility as parents to reflect the nature of God. And I'm thankful that even though I don't get it right all the time, God's grace is more than able to work in and through me to be godly influence to my kids.
ReplyDeleteHi Joce, totally agreed with you. Sometimes I will picture myself in the role of GOD toward me (Ethan) and I will understand his intentions and plans for me. =)
