Pray for things together and then let them see how God is answering those prayers. One of the things I appreciate about Phil's stepfather Grady is that after our visits, he circles up the whole family for prayer before we leave. He gives thanks for our time together, our family, and God's blessing as we head home. Finally, if we are going to pass on our faith to our children, I believe we need to have a plan of action. Rather than just taking our children's training for granted, or simply just taking them to church, I believe it is important to have a key goal or message to share with our children during each of the key early years of their lives.
Children are our greatest gift.
If we take these precious gifts God has placed into our hands and mold and love them and guide them into relationship with our Father, what a wonderful legacy we will be leaving for the church and the world.
