Raising Children and Building Memories

Deuteronomy 6:7

English Standard Version (ESV)

7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

As I had an opportunity to reminisce this weekend on my children, I think of when they were infants as well as now when they are young men. Where did the time go? Where did the young boys voices and mannerisms go? Yes, time flies when our children are growing

We as parents have a limited time to teach and share events with our children. Our children are young one moment and off leading their own lives the next. Brothers and Sisters, as parents, God has given us the responsibility of stewarding in the raising of the children He has blessed us with.

My prayer for you this day is that you won't take times with your children for granted and that you take every opportunity to be with them, teach them, love them. As you raise and nurture your children,build and make memories, make sure that they know about the love of Jesus Christ, the love that will never let them go.

This is the day that the Lord has made.
