"While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about."

[Rodejong]

"While we try to teach our children all about life,

Our children teach us what life is all about." ─ Angela Schwindt

 

I often think about this quote when I look at my son. Helping to build faith in a child’s heart is probably the toughest challenge you will ever face.

 

When you look back, you'll see that they have taught you so much as well. Patience, endurance, "breath in and breath out" but also the love and forgiveness for mistakes made.

At the same time when we grew older, we became more serious, focused on work, family, our faith... and our children bring us back to see things from a child's viewpoint. Appreciating how simple things can be.

 

Talk about Jehovah every day when you are doing things with your children; it's so rewarding. (Deuteronomy 6:5-8)
