The Vitamin of Example
I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. (2 Timothy 1:5)
A child doesnt forget seeing his father hug his mother or his parents kneeling to pray. He remembers if his parents treated one another with respect and if they provided a stable home environment. One penetrating question that we as parents can ask ourselves is: Am I the most godly man or woman my child has ever met?
Kneel beside your childrens beds to pray. Read out loud from the Bible. Take your children to church on Sunday. Live out the principles in Gods Word about showing kindness and patience to others. Treat your spouse and children the way you would like them to treat you.
Nothing goes unnoticed in the eyes of a child. Your children are watching you from the moment they are brought into this world.

Setting an example for your child can start right in your own living room.
