The Lord is always faithful to His promises. Let us introduce our children to the Word of God early in life and leave the rest for the Almighty. I am blessed to see the younger children having a personal relationship with God. My heart always melts with joy when they refer to God as their Father. "I will do what my father wants me to do,"Great is God's faithfulness. And when it comes to teaching the children, example is better than precepts a healthy home life is essential. Each spouse should treat the other with respect. Exhibiting respect for each other embraces a value system that our children will emulate. By speaking and acting respectfully toward one's spouse, one is telling the children, that there are words and deeds that are not acceptable. Each man,woman,or child among us deserves respect. When a parent's day to day activities differ from teachings he or she gives,doubt and confusion fill the child's imagination,making it hard for him or her to believe the parent or guardian. Children will remember how you said things long after they have forgotten what you said. Actions definitely speak louder than words. In most cases,the parent who deviates from the ideal finds it difficult to enforce the right way of living upon the child. Do as I say and not as I do does not go well in child upbringing-most children want to follow their parents' footprints.
