God laid this on my heart today and I've been thinking over it. This weekend has been very fun and very busy, but still, as I come home from all the chaos, I am reminded of this verse:
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.
Deuteronomy 5:6-7
This week I'm going to try to focus on the "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".
This week, how can I and how can you impress on the hearts of our children to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength?"
They learn from watching us. They see us. They see how we serve others. They see our love for Jesus. They see our desire to be in church. They see the way we live.
Each day at breakfast this week, we're going to talk about how to love Jesus more and I challenge you to try this too.

I came via the Raising Homemakers link-up and found this post. Love it! I am currently reading "Everyday Talk" by John Younts and this verse is the premise of the book. It seems like common sense, but it's a great reminder that their impressions of God are formed in how we react to things, and are attitudes, not just what we say.
