HE loves your children. HE does the work!
Isaiah 46:3-4
“Listen to me, descendants of Jacob,
all you who
remain in Israel.
I have cared for you since you were born.
Yes, I carried
you before you were born.
I will be your God throughout your lifetime-
until your
hair is white with age.
I made you, and I will care for you.
I will
carry you along and save you.”
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is
old, he will not depart from it. (KJV)
Point your kids in the right direction – when they’re old
they won’t be lost. (The Message)

(prayer!)
Daily
talking to Jesus…”Thank you for the swings at the park”….”please help me find
my blankie”….”help the person in the ambulance get better soon.”
Deuteronomy 6:6-8 (The Message): “Write these commandments
that I’ve given you today on your hearts. Get them inside of you and then get
them inside your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or
walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning
to when you fall into bed at night.”
B- Bedtime
Put Jesus into your bedtime routine, through prayer, song
sayings, and listening to your child (this is when teens talk!)
L is for Listen to
music!
At home, in the car, during small group…dance along, too!
E is for Engage in fellowship

studies, Church….seeing faith outside the family helps it grow even stronger.
