Today is the birthday of my first great-grandchild! She is six years old today and getting ready to graduate from Kindergarten! I'm thankful she was able to attend a Christian school, had teachers who were good role models for her, and where she was taught scriptures from the KJV.
But it is important for us, as parents and grandparents, to remember that the school can never take the place of the training in the home. The home is where our young ones are taught respect, honor and obedience. It is in the home that they learn God's Day is a holy day. It is in the home they are taught the importance of faithfulness in attendance at the house of the Lord. It is in the home where they are taught to tithe, even if their tithe is only a penny or a dime. It is in the home where they learn to pray. May we remember this little poem by an unknown author as we train our children to love and serve God.
"I'm not too young to sin. I'm not too young to die.
I'm not too little to begin a life of faith and joy.
I'm not too young to know the Saviour's love for me
In coming down to earth below to die upon the tree.
I'm not too young to love. I'm not too young to pray,
To look to Jesus up above and all His Word obey.
Jesus, I love Thy name; from evil set me free.
And ever keep Thy little lamb who puts his trust in Thee."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Kenzie!! I'm glad Jesus chose you to be my first great-grandchild!! Have a wonderful day!
