Topic: Raising Godly Children

 2 Thoughts:

1. Nurture Hearts, Not Just Behavior:

When it comes to your kids, focus on nurturing their hearts rather than merely addressing their behaviors. Win their hearts and the behaviors are more likely to follow. Lose their hearts and you'll be more likely to lose both.

2. Recognize God's Gifts:

Your children are a blessing from God. Since that's true, approach each aspect of parenting with gratitude, recognizing that God has entrusted you with the responsibility of raising them. Take great care of what God has given to you to love on His behalf.

2 Quotes:

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6

"The soul is healed by being with children." - Fyodor Dostoevsky

2 Actions: 

1. Lead by Example:

Children learn more from what they see than what they are told. Live out your faith and let your actions serve as a model for the godly principles you want to see them embrace and live out too.

2. Create Sacred Moments:

Create an environment where spiritual matters are openly discussed and questions, doubts, and worries are encouraged. These sacred moments help develop a strong spiritual foundation in your children's lives and protects them in the future when life gets tough.
