Reading: Proverbs 1:8, Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not forsake your mother's teaching. Proverbs 4:1, Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction; pay attention and gain understanding. Proverbs 4:10, Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many.
These three verses are just a short list of how many times Solomon tells his sons to listen to his instructions. Today, I wonder how much time we really take to teach or instruct our children. Often, we wait until there is a discipline or a correction to “teach” them. It reminds me of the movie, “My Life”. Michael Keaton is dying of cancer and he begins making videos for his son of things that he would want to teach him, even showing him how to walk in a room and how to shake hands. Many times, we think if we were in the same place, how much of the kid’s lives you would miss and how much you would have taught them. Yet, for some reason, without that fatal reminder, we spend our evenings letting the television or peers teach and instruct our kids.
From the moment your children wake up, they are learning, whether it is good or bad, they are learning. Outside of school what is teaching your kids?
What would you want to teach your kids?
