Can you believe we're in Feb already?! Where did January go??
You children are wonderful people doesn't matter if they are infants, toddlers, children, teens, young adults or adults. They are YOUR children they are loaned to you for a reason, for a purpose, for us to lead, guide and show the way. In the end it is up to each child how they go but prayerfully they will not depart from their teaching and training.
We have 5 children as many of you know. Praise the Lord thus far each of our children have followed their training. What can you do to help your children Live on the bright side of life and cont to live that way even after they are on their own.
1. Be an example - If you live for God on Sunday and live like the world Monday through Saturday. You aren't being a good example. The Bible tells us "He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" Micah 6:8
We are too live as God would live - be Christ like. Live for God not 1, not 2, not 4, BUT 7 days a week!! When your children see you living on the bright side of life they will be more likely to do the same.
2. Faithfulness - Do your children see you being faithful or do they see you being hit and miss. Faithful to what you ask? Your Bible reading, Your Prayer life, Your ministry, Your church, Your wife/husband, your children. Yes we need to faithful in ALL areas of life. In I Corinthians 4:17 we are told, "For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which in Christ...."
Are you faithful? Faithfulness is a sure fire way of living on the bright side of life.
Friend it doesn't matter if you are single parent, divorced, separated, or married YOU as a parent can teach YOUR children to be and to live on the bright side of life. We need to be their instructor. We need to as parents be their illustration. If you aren't sure how to do this, go to the Word of God, go to your Pastor, Youth Pastor etc. You can raise children who live on the bright side of life.
You will receive the strength you need to help these dear precious children grow in the Lord.
Colossians 1:10 - 11 "That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;"
Lets do all we can to Live on the bright side and be the example, be faithful, be their instructor to the best of our ability.
