Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old,
he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
At Moms & Tots, Grace A. did a bible study on this verse:
T - Teach Truth & Trust
- that their trust may be in the Lord(vs 19)
R - Refuge
- make our homes a refuge, a safe place for our children
- He is our shelter & our strength
- to be able to be open with one another
A - Accept
- love your child, not necessarily their behavior
- accept their differences
- praise your children
I - Imitate
- follow the example of Christ
- Walk the life that God has shown us in his word.
- Ask God to be 1st place in my heart
N - New Life
- begin again each day
- His mercies are new every morning
As we train our children may we grow closer as a family and closer to God.
