Children Learn What They Live
“Train up a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not depart from it”
Proverbs 22:6

    Consider these words about teaching our kids which really apply to our relationships with all of God’s children, young and old:
    If a child lives with criticism,
        He learns to condemn.
    If a child lives with hostility,
        He learns to fight.
    If a child lives with ridicule,
        He learns to be shy.
    If a child lives with shame,
        He learns to feel guilty.
    If a child lives with tolerance,
        He learns to be patient.
    If a child lives with encouragement,
        He learns confidence.
    If a child lives with praise,
        He learns to appreciate.
    If a child lives with fairness,
        He learns justice.
    If a child lives with security,
        He learns to have faith.
    If a child lives with approval,
        He learns to like himself.
    If a child lives with acceptance and friendship,
        He learns to find love in the world.

I would like to add one more:
    If a child grows up knowing God,
        He or she will always have a guide and a friend.

Grace and Peace!
Bob Sinclair, Pastor
