it has always been top priority for us to raise our kids to love our God. to know what He did for them. to believe in Him. to trust Him. and to live their life as He did. full of love, compassion, kindness, gentless, self control, prayer.
we have struggled over the last 4 years with going to church. sometimes we are just lazy, but the reasons usually involve having small children or frequently going out of town. those are my excuses anyway. we have tried to be diligent in attending church every week that we are home for a few months now and have succeeded. the next step is to find a sunday school class to join.
all that being said, although we may not have attended church weekly, we still talked about God in our home. prayed before meals. read books about the real meaning of special holidays. focused not on presents at Christmas, but on Jesus. focused not on candy at Easter, but on Christ rising again. they know those stories. they know that we pray before meals. they know that we thank God when it rains. they know that we sing praises. and karsyn's very favorite ...
Here I am to worship,
Here I am to bow down,
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy,
All together wonderful to me
she sings it constantly. she wants to hear it constantly. and it makes my heart sing along. sometimes we belt it out in the car, upon her request, and mykah is even learning the words.
one of the most precious things for a parent to hear is for their child(ren) to sing praises to the Lord. i am in love with the fact that my kids know God. my kids praise Him and are learning daily what it means to worship our Lord.
