The purpose of Word filled Wednesday is illustrating God's word using a photo with a verse.
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6
The book of Proverbs is chalk full of advice for us parents. It seems that at this point in my life I am doing LOTS of "training". Teaching my children how to complete tasks, how to behave, reiterating the "whys" and "what fors" and just the general book learnin', are all the center of my daily life right now. It seems that school is never really "out". I am constantly teaching someONE, someTHING. Some days it can get pretty discouraging and most of the time it feels like no one is really "getting" what I am teaching. I find great encouragement in the book of Proverbs. Today this verse just popped out at me. I hope that it will pop for you too.
Have a wonderful Word filled Wednesday. If you would like to read more about Word filled Wednesday's go to The 160 Acre Woods.
Lots of work, that training. May God bless all your efforts :0)
ReplyDeleteGod be with you as you train your children...you will be rewarded for it in the year's to come.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved this scripture. Your efforts don't go unnoticed (even though some days it sure feels that way!) May God continue to bless you in your attempts to teach. Thank you for sharing this verse...
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Farm chicky!
ReplyDeleteA GREAT POST for today. My sons are "grown" and on their own, but live very near us. THIS verse, got us through "those tough times." and is VERY VERY TRUE. I'm finding too that it doesn't matter "how old" they are... It's still our job to keep guiding in the Lord.
Be encouraged today. If you are speaking the WORD to them... they are "gettin it!" :) His word never returns void.

ReplyDeleteKeep on keeping on, one day it will truly pay off.
Loved the picture to go with your scripture!
Really nice, bless you.
ReplyDeleteOooh.. I really like this. The picture is perfect for the scripture, the scripture is a great reminder for any parent, and I love how you placed the verse (color, font, everything) on the picture.
ReplyDeleteHappy WFW!
I'm in the school of learning how my kids learn and as I'm training them in the way they should go I'm learning the way they should go...Lord help me! The teaching and training doesn't take a break just cause it's summer and I'm learning as I go!
