This is a little (lot) scary for me. What God is telling me this week, is that my children are a reflection of my Spiritual walk. I have thought about this all week, mediated and reflected on it and tried to make it not true.
What about the kids whose parents appear to be really great people, but the kids don't turn out so great? What about the families where one kid turns out not great and the other do? What about non-Christian families that have great kids? Why would my spiritual life most great affect my kids and not my parenting skills or my love and devotion to them?
What about the people who say that every kid has to "sow their wild oats"? What about the kids who do wander for awhile (like I did) but then get back to where they are supposed to be?
What about people who come from non-Christian families who change the world? What about preachers' kids? (You know-that stereotype that is unfortunately too true sometimes...)
I don't know. I just know that what God is telling *me* is that my Spiritual walk directly affects my kids. My only shot at giving them the best start they need is to be where I'm supposed to be with my walk with God.
Maybe this is just for me. Isn't that scary....?
