Passing it On

My prayer today comes from Deuteronomy 6:4-9.  "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  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.  Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."

May we as parents not neglect this passing on of our faith.  May we do the job well enough so they are equipped to teach and train their own children.  May they love you with all their hearts, all their souls, and all their strength.
