I recently read what happens everyday in your home defines what normal becomes for your family. Things that become part of the daily rhythm are things our families will come to believe are most important.
In Deut. 6:5-9 it says, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
The bible is full of examples of how God used families to tell his story. Today the Father's love can be developed through the rhythm of our busy schedules to become a normal part of our daily lives in our homes by how we pursue God, how we love our spouses and children, how we treat each other, how we spend our money, how we work, and how we communicate.
Our responsibility is to point our household in God's direction. If we prepare our children to leave home as faithful and responsible servants, God will do the rest.
