Whether we realize it or not our children are watching us and we transmit a message to them that many times will become a part of their personalities. That among many reasons is why the man and wife must have a level head.
If we want strong sons we must have strong fathers. We live in an age where young people as a whole have no conception of what real life is all about. I KNOW...lots come to my home from the states. They cannot cook, iron and want to sleep all day! They are experts in courting but work and discipline is a foreign word to most. (Not all)
I am putting some personal things here so hope you don´t mind but the Bible does say for the older women to teach the younger. Where are our older women that is supposed to be teaching the younger women?
I did not have much of this worlds goods to give my children but teaching them how to cook, how to clean their homes is a priceless gift. Don´t think the television is going to do that for you or some babysitter!
We learn a lot from God´s words to Moses...
Deut. 6: 4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
11And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
Instead of the lastest gadgets and trying to hold down two jobs to pay for it all and the mother working it might be better to live more simple and have less things and your children by your side...I don´t mean always living next door our only blood son lives probably 1500 hundred miles from us but we are united in purpose. Our love is the same, our values are the same. Why is this? We taught him!
When people that know us see us, the comment is always the same...My how he sings like Brother Alvear, he has his mother´s out going personality. He does this like his dad or does something like his mother...We impart qualities into our children...
