Do what?
Stay at home with the children, every day.
My first reaction was a snarky oh, I just eat bon bons all day and they do whatever.
Then I looked at my middle child and asked him to recite the Bible verse we have been reading to the children for the past several months.
It is not ME that makes my children who they are. Yes, genetics play a roll but it is God who is changing them from the inside out. His love, grace, forgiveness and guidance in our lives plays out on a daily basis and we try to point them to the Word when they make mistakes.
We make mistakes, and are not perfect.
They are not perfect.
His grace has brought us this far and will continue to bring us. Its not by our works but His.
My son, be attentive to my words; incline your ear to my
sayings.
Let them not escape from your sight; keep them within your
heart.
For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all
their flesh.
Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the
springs of life.
Put away from you crooked speech…..and put devious talk far
from you.
Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be
straight before you.
Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.
Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your food
away from evil.
Proverbs 4:20-27
