By trying to give our children everything—music lessons, ballet, drama classes, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, little league, ad infinitum—we end up depriving them of the thing they need most: time to be a child. Wouldn’t it be better to teach our children how to choose what is most important to them? Learning to make value decisions at an early age will prepare them to make wise choices later in life.
“Train a child in the way he should go,
— Proverbs 22:6
and when he is old he will not turn from it.”
Lord Jesus, help us to give our children spiritual values rather than cultural conformity that they may grow up to make wise decisions. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
