Word-filled Wednesday


As a parent this verse is sooo convicting. Every time. What a precious gift to be entrusted with! What a wonderful blessing to have children! And what an awesome responsibility!

This is not about simple quality time... but quantity as well as quality time. Time spent with my children, teaching them by example and by word about God and His Word. This verse reminds me of this truth. I need to be truly present and I need to teach my children in the little and the big things of life. And I need to teach them and ground them in God's Word.

Find others who are celebrating God's Word at Word-filled Wednesdays.

You are so right about the conviction factor. Many of us have much to sacrifice as parents to truly live this out this verse.

Lovely photo and it is not just time spent with them that they absorb but the things you do each day and say each day, your habits..do they actually see us read a bible, or even a book so that they get a message that it is worth learning to read, they see how we handle our relationships our finances. They take in so so much from us. What an incredible privilege God gives us.
