My son is now 3 years old. The other day I realized how much more he watches what I do and repeats a lot of what I say. I thought to myself, “I really need to set a good example for him at all times and in all circumstances.” I saw the following quote online that made me really stop and think. “We spend time worrying about our kids’ faith when the greatest influence in their lives is you sticking to yours.” – Mark Holmen. What may be more important than us teaching our children about God, introducing them to the Bible and going to church is how we actually live out our daily lives with Christ in us. If we truly have faith and walk in relationship with Him, we can be a beacon of light for our children that will be unmistakable and will guide them through even the darkest times. God is good.
