Keep It Personal

Parenting Skill #2 is:
Keep it Personal
Deuteronomy 6:6 says, “Write these commandments… on your hearts. Get them inside of you…” The old phrase, “things are better caught than taught” applies here.
What happens in my home is far more important than what happens at church. My kids will do what I demonstrate.
- How much my son cherishes Bible Study and learning.
- How much my daughter values loving relationships.
- The extent to which my kids serve others.
All of these are influenced by my daily activities more than the activities of the kids ministry they attend a few hours a week.
My child will learn how to love God with his whole heart from my demonstration of loving God with my whole heart.
As a parent, it’s imperative that I Keep It Personal.
great thoughts and great reminders!
