Jul. 3, 2009 - Helping your children to delight in God.

"Teaching our children about God and their need for him is our most important role as parents. We can do this daily from the moment of their arrival by reading to them from the Bible, teaching them songs that bring praise to the Lord, helping them to see God in our everyday moments, praying diligently for them. Look for opportunities throughout the day to help your children delight in the Lord. Teach them about His creation and how they can glorify Him with their lives."



Look for opportunities throughout the day to help your children delight in the Lord and to see Him in the everyday moments.  As you step outside and feel a soft breeze blowing, take a moment and talk about how sweet it is that God gives us breezes and how nice they feel.  If there is a strong wind instead, you can talk about that also, share with your child how God uses the wind to change the weather and how like the Holy Spirit he blows it where He wants.  Maybe you just finished reading a wonderful story, talk about how delightful it is that God gave us words to be able to share stories like that.  Is your child healing from getting their wisdom teeth out, like my youngest daughter this week? Share with them the wonders of how our bodies heal and how sometimes in life we need to just be still and rest.  Look around you and be aware of His presence, He is always at work, help your children to see that and to delight in it.
