Our Children

This was taken from Our Daily Bread this morning Jan 28th. Our Children, we all want better
for them, than we had ourselves. But what we want more than anything for them, is that they
have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.....it is our RESPONSIBILITY as parents to train
up our child(REN) in the way he/she should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.

Exodus 20:1-17

Murphy’s Laws are observations about life that seem to have the weight of experience behind them. You’ve probably heard this one: “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Here’s another one: “You can’t do just one thing; everything has its consequences.”
My own experience seems to confirm many of Murphy’s Laws, but it’s that second one that I would hang on the wall as a motto. Wrong choices have their consequences. For example, if we choose to live for pleasure, that will affect our children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (Ex. 20:4-5). If we walk away from God, we may discover that our children have taken that trip with us. Later, even if we return to Him, they may not.
But there is also good news. Devotion to the Lord has its consequences too. Men and women who live in faith before God can have a strong influence on their children and their children’s children. If they live a long life, they can witness the effect their faith has had on several generations. What satisfaction it brings to older people to see their posterity living for Christ!
Murphy and the Bible agree on this point: “Everything has its consequences.” — Haddon W. Robinson
If you sow seeds of wickedness,Sin’s harvest you will reap;But scattered seeds of righteousnessYield blessings you can keep. —Sper

People who follow Christ lead others in the right direction.

Eat it, breathe it, live it, talk it, walk it. Our children are watching and so is everyone else.
God Bless each of you this day, as you travel the strait and narrow way.

Happy Birthday to my baby brother, Mark, may you be blessed beyond measure as you strive to live your life the Bible way.
