Teaching true spirituality to our kids.

Happy Mothers Day - to all the primary care takers of our children.  What is it that you hope to teach your kids?  I'm always hoping that I'm passing on God's love to my children. 3 things to consider: How am I living? What do I believe? What do I say?  The pattern of our life, the principles that govern us and the power of our words is what teaches our children about spirituality.  Teaching them how to be good little humans so they can make a kind, loving, accepting contribution to this world. Helping them navigate matters of the heart as they are here  living on earth, not hiding them from what we fear here on earth.  As we teach our kids to be "Godly" - think about who God is.  Number one and most importantly - God is LOVE!  If we teach our kids love we teach them the very heart of God.  We model love and acceptance by our actions.  If our words about others don't match our actions our children see that.  They will learn to live a dualistic life if we as parents don't learn to live in unity - mind, body and spirit.  Say what you mean and mean what you say.  If you say you forgive - then drop it let it go, don't keep holding a grudge.  If you say you like something, don't talk about how much  you actually think it sucks.  If you are teaching to love without judgement, don't speak unkind words about those you don't agree with.  If you are teaching them to trust God and that He is a faithful provider - then don't stress out about money and worry that you don't have enough.  God is either generous or stingy.  What is it that you want your kids to believe about God?  What you do, what you say and what you believe is what you are passing on to your children.  How wonderful to be able to leave a monetary  inheritance BUT don't forget about the most important inheritance that you will pass onto your kids.  Money will only take you so far in life.  Money can't buy the most important inheritance we pass on to our children - LOVE!
