And now a word to you fathers. Don’t make your children angry by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction approved by the Lord.
Ephesians 6:4
TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL LINK
InTouch Ministries - 06/15/06
Our children learn and mimic the life we live before them…
If a child lives with conflict, He learns to fight.
If a child lives with fear, He learns to be apprehensive.
If a child lives with pity, He learns to feel sorry for himself.
If a child lives with ridicule, He learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame, He learns to feel guilty.
But…
If a child lives with encouragement, He learns to be confident.
If a child lives with tolerance, He learns to be patient.
If a child lives with praise, He learns to be appreciated.
If a child lives with acceptance, He learns to love.
Father, what is your child learning from you?
