Watch Me Dad- I am Watching you!!

Jesus declares that what you do in secret, the Father sees and will reward openly.  If I want my sons to be Bible lovers, I have to love the Bible myself.  I have to develop a deep devotional life personally and privately.   What we do in secret will inevitably impact what our children end up doing in their own lives.  The Bible says that we ought to be men with strength and certainty– a house that will serve the lord.  

My son Paul recently had asked, “Why he could not watch a certain cartoon that his classmates watch.”   I was trying to explain that I am responsible for him, I would not allow things to pollute his mind, and that my goal was to raise him in a way that will be beneficial to him  in the days to come.  It was not an answer that he cared for much at the time:)

Children are like video camcorders, there always running, and always recording.  I have to remember, what do I want to be on the tape of my child’s soul and mind.
