Proverbs 22:6

"Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

That is definetly what we are doing when it comes to the kids and our homemade salsa. Just look at Rylen chowin' down...

When I made the comment that I was training him right a picture that hangs in our home came to mind. Amazing how God speaks to us in the little, everyday things of life!

All kidding aside, this verse has been one that Jeremy and I have tried to live by when raising the kids. There was a point a year or so ago where Jeremy was questioning whether or not we were doing the right things in discipling them. We had been talking about it for a couple of days and even on the way to church one morning. When we arrived a woman that we know came up to us in the parking lot with something wrapped up and said "God put it on my heart to do this for you." I was going to wait until we got home to look at it but Jeremy insisted that we look at it right there. When we opened it up the above picture is what we found. This is one of the best gifts that we have ever received! It spoke exactly to what we had had concerns about and was confirmation that we were indeed trying to do the right things. This picture hangs by our computer in our bedroom. I see it several times everyday and it reminds me to just continue on the path that God has laid for us and our children. If we do that then we will all turn out just fine. I have to say that I have also been truly blessed to have this woman in my life. First as an acquantence then as a Mentor Mom with our MOPS group. Lynn, thanks for your humbleness and openness, for being a prayer warrior and for always being there when needed. You are a true blessing!
