My son and I took his daughter to the doctor earlier this week. She wasn't happy about being there... even less happy when she discovered that her doctor was a BOY!lol However, when Dr. Mason listened for Jesus in her heart while checking her heartbeat and lungs, she decided he was okay - she even gave him a sticker when we were leaving.
In a world where kids can't say the Pledge of Allegiance or openly pray in school, our family has made some important decisions when it comes to my granddaughter - who'll be four in a couple of weeks:
1.) She attends a daycare that PRAYS before every meal, and teaches important moral lessons (in addition to the THREE Rs).
2.) She plays sports through the YMCA because they teach more than just the fundamentals of basketball or soccer... they teach four core values - respect, responsibility, honesty, and caring.
3.) We have her watch television shows and movies - like Veggie Tales - that have important lessons for her mind and heart.
God has blessed us with this precious little creature, and we intend to take the responsibility of raising her very seriously.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)
6 Start children off on the way they should go,
and even when they are old they will not turn from it.
