A clean slate—-That’s what I realized as I played with my little great-granddaughter Hazel yesterday. She looked up at me and smiled as I talked to her and made funny noises. She will learn to smile, to laugh, to speak, to walk, to think.—–
She already knows how to cry———she will be TAUGHT how to love..
Maybe this is a little strange for me to be thinking of this morning, but it is so true. In His Word we find the importance of setting an example for this tiny baby. She and all children will learn from others.
“Your godly lives will speak to them better than any words.” 1 Peter 3:2b.
Children will watch, imitate, and learn from others. When the children see that you have a sincere love for God, they will love Him too. As they love God, they will love others.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
