In May, we remembered the mothers in our congregation. In June, we remembered fathers. As we prepare for Vacation Bible School with our children, here is an article by Dorothy Nolte to remember them. (Pray for VBS next week.)
Children Learn What They Live
If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn.
If children live with hostility, they learn to fight.
If children live with fear, they learn to be apprehensive.
If children live with pity, they learn to feel sorry for themselves.
If children live with ridicule, they learn to feel shy.
If children live with jealousy, they learn to feel envy.
If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty.
If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence.
If children live with tolerance, they learn patience.
If children live with praise, they learn appreciation.
If children live with acceptance, they learn to love.
If children live with faithful parents, they will learn faith.
Pastor Baker
Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
