But, in this case, Mom or Dad needs to breathe first or they won't be able to help their child breathe. In order to give a child breath, we first have to get some oxygen ourselves. You cannot give what you yourself do not have, and you cannot lead a child where you have not been. In a few words, the way to make sure your kids are spiritually ready is a natural communication of a personal reality . A relationship, not a religion .
Love is a relationship word.
A religion is not a relationship, rules are not a relationship, and rituals are not a relationship. I am not married to Karen because I attend celebrations of her special days or go to meetings she likes to go to or buy her flowers. I am married to her on the basis of a lifetime love and a lifetime commitment. A relationship with God is based on the same kind of personal attachment and commitment. Any census over the years would have recorded five people living at our house.
