Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
All parents, whether couples or single, play an important role in their child’s life.
It’s not about how much money we have to give them or how many gifts they get. They don’t have to have the best clothes or go to the best school. It’s not about being there for every sport they are in or game they play.
The most important thing we can ever give our child, or children, is a knowledge of God and the teachings of Christ.
Life is so hard to live without Him. So no matter what else we provide for them it is useless if we don’t teach them to know how to live and to enjoy all that they have.
Material things will never bring long lasting, true happiness for our children. But the love of God, through His Son Jesus Christ, gives us a lasting and fulfilling JOY like none other. It gives us wisdom, discernment and guidance throughout our whole life.
Take time out of our schedule and teach them. Pray with them and train them up.
Parents have a responsibility and the best thing we can do for those precious little babies, teens or young adults is to give them the ARMS that will help hold them through thick and thin, through good times and bad times for all of their lives.
