Proverbs 22

Oh gosh,where do I start?!!!

Im not going to go in order here,so verse 6 'Train a child in the way he should go,when he is old he will not turn from it'

*sigh* I love this verse!!
I am far from a perfect parent (ok,insecurities coming through there :p recently someone mentioned I needed to do a parenting course,feeling a bit paranoid now).In the last week Isabella has been asking some hard questions ie: 'why doesnt Poppa love Grandma anymore?', 'Are Grandpa and Uncle Simon in Heaven together?', 'how are they in Heaven with Jesus,but Jesus is in my heart?', 'why is Grandpas body under a stone?I thought he was in Heaven?'....yeah.....It amazes me the things that she thinks about.Its awesome!But this week I was grateful that one day my Mum was here and able to help me answer some questions,particularly about God that I couldnt figure out how to simplify for a child to understand.At the end of it all,I realized we must be doing a good job of teaching her about God and about our faith for her to even think about those things!
Part of the reason we are even considering going back to church is so that our girls can make some friends with the same beliefs.That and I want them to experience Sunday School,Sunday School plays and a little part of me thinks sometimes,maybe a Sunday school teacher may have better words to answer some of her questions.
I know our girls are only 3 and 4,but I hope that what we are teaching them now about God will last them through their teens and adulthood.I hope that like Steve and I,they develop a love for God and even through all the hideous temptations that come with growing up,they will hang on to that love and *cross fingers* remember all the little things we are trying to teach them now.

verse 2 'Rich and poor have this in common:The Lord is the Maker of them all"
Pretty self explainatory!!Love it though!!!Wish more people in this world would read this and store it in their hearts AND minds!We are all one and the same arent we?All equal in Gods eyes :)
