Since I've been working with children, I realize what sponges they can be. They listen to everything you say and watch everything you do.
What a responsibility!
God's Word teaches us how we are to teach our children.
So, teach your children well!
Blessings and love,

Debbie - Yep - little sponges is just what they are. It really pays to pay attention to what they come into contact with doesn't it - since they ARE goiing to soak it right in.
ReplyDeleteThey seems to really be soaking in your love and attention! :)

ReplyDeleteI remember a song from the
late 60's or early 70's by
Crosby, Stills and Nash called
Teach Your Children. I was
reminded of it in reading this.
Love,
Sandy
I know God will bless you for planting good seed in rich soil!
ReplyDeleteI wish more parents would do this.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie,
ReplyDeleteWell, my Sponge (son) is all grown-up, but I'm praying that all of those years he was soaking-up Gods Word will cleanse his heart.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. ~ Psalm 51:10
God bless you,
Michele
I'm so grateful for parents who taught us well - everything from love of the Lord, to appreciation for His creation; from manners to work ethic; from faithfulness to integrity.
ReplyDeleteI pray I've done half that job with my own. And then I pray they'll do likewise with theirs.
Hugs,
Kathleen
Yes, Debbie it's very important teaching the children and especially leading them by our example... Have a wonderful weekend full of joy. Philip
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteI recall as a young child being indfluenced by the words and actions of my own sweet parents. As a result, I was able to pass my faith and values on to my children and grandchildren.
Our children are the only assurance we have that what we believe will be carried into the next generation. I am so grateful for the privilege of passing my faith along.
Thank you for this lovely post and the blessing you always are to me.
In Grace,
Marie
