You shall teach them to your children . Most household sponges that we use today are synthetic, but many people are surprised to learn that real sponges were at one time living sea animals. When a live sponge is removed from the sea and its living matter is cleaned out, it becomes useful for household purposes. The skeleton that remains, with its open-celled structure, can soak up and absorb liquid.
Children are like sponges.
They soak up attitudes and ideas with which they come in contact. We must be very careful, therefore, about what is allowed to fill their minds. When children become adults, they will give out what they have taken in during their formative and impressionable years. Our children need a home where love Provides security, Where what we teach is not confused By what they hear and see. The values children absorb now are sure to flow out later.
