5 Things to Tell your Kids | Thursday Thrive from Friendship Baptist Church

5 things to tell your kids. 

 

There is a host of stories and comments on the internet that talk about what people would do different if they had life to do over again. A simple search will reveal people would spend more time with friends, develop deeper relationships, watch the sunset, be in the moment, enjoy life. 

With that in mind how do we live today? How do we take care of the daily moments so the years will take care of themselves? After giving a lot of thought to this I came up with 5 things my kids need to hear every day. I put them in a simple acrostic to help each of us remember the power of daily words in the lives of our kids.

“So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31

“Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is what God wants you to do.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18

“Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.” 1 Corinthians 13:7 

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” Matthew 22:37, 39 

“I can do everything through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
