I look at many of the children at KOC and remember them as infants as they came to childcare for the first time...now many of them in school and some who have even moved on to middle school and high school. I remember the parents too...the first time parents who struggled so about putting their baby in child care...and those more experienced parents who still struggled when they had to leave their little ones.
- Are you cherishing these early years with your children?
- Are you taking the time to enjoy them?
- Are you teaching them to be independent and self-sufficient?
- Are you teaching them what commitment is?
- Are you showing them how to grow a strong marriage?
- Are you sharing your faith with them and showing them by your actions your love and devotion to God?
There is not a minute to waste!
Time passes so quickly!
Don't let these early years pass by so quickly while you are involved in your work and the day to day struggles of life that you suddenly realize your children are grown and your opportunity to influence their future is gone! The time is now!
God has given you the precious gift of children...it is His desire that you raise them up to know Him, love Him and serve Him.
Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress
them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when
you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:4-9
