So close!

I was so pulling for Phil Mickleson this weekend! He almost pulled it off which would have been an amazing story if he won. It was so nice to hear all of the commentary this week of how he put his family first and his priorities as a father in how he makes his decisions. While this speaks nothing of his faith in Christ I believe it is still a nice example of a man making his children a priority.

Remember parents, Ephesians 6:4 says that we are not only avoid provoking our children to anger by the things we do but also by the things we don't do as well. We cannot forget the last part of that verse. We must then bring them up in the training and instruction of The Lord. We must be teaching them the ways of The Lord by teaching them the Scriptures and teaching them about God.

As a recently read in a book called "A Parent Privilege" by Steve Wright, "Eternity is a priority as a Christian parent." It goes on to say, "No GPA, no scholastic accolade, no prestigious university, no desire to grow up to make a name for themselves, no athletic accomplishment, no promise of a high-paying career, no Broadway show standing ovation will grant peace, hope, or salvation. Daily pointing our children to eternity should be our great desire because Christ is their and our only hope."
