Now that our children are back in school, I was uplifted listening to them and seeing them do their own shopping and deciding what to wear.
They grow up fast and things are not like they used to be.
The Word is still the same. It never changes. (Proverbs 22:6) “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Every child should be taught of the Lord and when they start public school is is the beginning of their training. We need to teach them to pray, to take time out each day to thank the Lord for a good day, and sit down and have a meal together.
What you teach your child is better than what they may learn at school. What you teach them will last forever.
Pray daily for our children, the teachers, bus drivers, all the school and county workers.
