Teaching Our Children to Love the Lord

This is where my husband has his devotional time with the Lord and he always includes whoever is awake at the moment.

I know I still have a long way to go in raising kids, but at my little Mom's group that I have at my house monthly, we talked about ways we can raise children who love the Lord.  Here are a few things we talked about:


Starting young with our children......always pointing them to God.


Family devotions and prayer time.  Bible time with our children.


Using bedtime as a real time to connect with your child.  Usually this time of night children really open-up and want to share what is on their little hearts.


Having them memorize passages of Scripture.


Being a loving and gracious parent so that they can easily relate to God as a loving father.  Meaning not being to over-bearing and dictatorial. 


Encourage godly friendships and discouraging ungodly peer influences.  Pray for God to send like-minded friends their way. 


Most importantly, setting an example.  Remember children learn so much more from our actions and attitudes than from our words.
