Yesterday was an awesome day for me as I got the blessing of taking my two kids fishing. We caught nine bass and had three keepers. It was a beautiful day on the Tennessee River. I can't stress enough how important it is to spend time with your kids.My son in now 15 and my daughter is 9, soon they will be leaving the nest! Life is very busy. Time spent with our children passes by so very quickly. We are the ones who need to be training our children up in the Lord. The world will not teach them godly things! So we must.
Deuteronomy 6:5-7
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
Did you catch the command part? We are commanded to teach the love of God to our children. The only way we can do that is to spend time with them. Every moment we can we must stress the importance of God in their lives. In reality our children are not really ours! They are gifts from God! He has given us the responsibility of raising them in Him!
Psalm 127:3
3 Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Oh my friends, time is flying by, spend time with your kids, and be sure to teach them about Jesus! You won't regret a second of it!
Tom
