our preacher at church challenged us a couple of weeks ago
to make a list of 10 things we want our children to learn from us...
1. keep your friends and family close, but keep God closer.
2. don't be like everyone else.
3. love those who aren't loving toward you.
4. be ambitious and follow through with everything you do.
5. words should be chosen wisely and not tossed around carelessly.
6. God will never fail you, even though people do.
7. "blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
8. allow yourself to learn from your mistakes.
9. you are responsible for your own actions.
10. surround yourself with people who will build you up and encourage you.
there are so many things that i want to teach my children.
it's hard to pick out just 10, but it's a good start i think!
