My wife took this photo last week at the beach. My boys and I were headed for the waves and had no idea she was snapping the picture. Viewing it later made me stop and think about all of the opportunities I have to speak into my boys lives with actions and not just words. It is my prayer today that I would be intentional in the actions that I model to my boys, and that as they grow up they will know and understand the direction, purpose, and strength that comes from following Jesus.
Proverbs 22:5-6
5 In the paths of the wicked lie thorns and snares,
but he who guards his soul stays far from them.
6 Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Carrie & I were just talking about how those small moments we don't think much of can make a monumental impact on our kids. I am praying the Holy Spirit will help me be aware of those opportunities as they arise.
