To the end of Generations
Francis of Assisi wrote,
If you are a Christian you most certainly must be teaching them to love. Jesus when asked,
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40.
As believers in Christ Jesus, our children must see the fruits of the Spirit in our lives. The apostle Paul telling us,
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22,23.
We as believers must teach our children to cultivate those truth. To put them into action in their day to day lives.
For in doing so they will make the world around them a better place.
Please think about it.
“Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Proverbs 22:6
“Whoever teaches his son teaches not alone his son
but also his son’s son, and so on to the end of generations.”
The Talmud.
What are you teaching your children? Your children see not only your words but your deeds also. It is no good saying to your child “Do what I say, not what I do.” We must live out our values before our children.Francis of Assisi wrote,
“The deeds you do
may be the only sermon some persons will hear today”

This is certainly true when it comes to our children. So what moral values are you teaching your children?If you are a Christian you most certainly must be teaching them to love. Jesus when asked,
