Matthew and Jordan enjoy playing Legos and Barbies. While they play I have found great opportunities to teach some life lessons on what the Bible says about certain topics. These topics usually include marriage, living together and what clothes are appropriate to wear.
In our present day, it seems as though some or all of these topics, if left untaught at home are left vague or skewed in the minds and hearts of our children. Teaching them what is right in the eyes of the Lord is what our kids need as they are hit with opposing views all around them. We can help them be confident when they are face to face with decisions about how to conduct themselves in the world we live in.
Lord, thank You for giving us Your Word as the lamp to our feet (and our kids' feet) and the light to the path You want us to go in. Please help us to prepare our children to live in the world but not be sucked into the popular views held all around them. Prepare their hearts to receive Your Word so they can live to give You glory. In Jesus name, Amen.
So simply said but so hugely important. Thanks for the reminder.
