Proverbs 22:6 NASB "Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he grows older he will not abandon it."He only has to see it once! I am amazed by one of our grandsons, he gets it so quickly and then begins to do it himself! Today's Word speaks about raising children and how when they are older, they will not abandon the teaching of their youth! I shared with my wife that we must be careful with what we do and say for our eldest grandson picks things up very quickly. I couldn't help but think of today's scripture as I watched him repeat exactly what I had done. And then it occurred to me that most children will pick up exactly what they see in us adults, good and bad! The acts that they see in us adults will forever be remembered by them as they grow older. So the question is, what are we teaching these little ones? Are we sharing the love of Christ and God's Word by our actions or are we letting the world teach them? Something to think about and act on while they watch us... and they are watching! peace, tom
