Exemplified

“The greatest desire of my life is that my kids would grow up to love God with all of their heart, soul, mind, and strength. But I can’t control that. The longer I parent the more I realise that all I can do is live what I want them to learn. If we’re generous, our kids learn generosity. If we’re kind, our kids learn kindness. If we love the word of God, our kids learn to love the word. If we apologize, our kids learn to apologise”
