They are like sponges

1Thess 1:16 you become imitaters of us and of the lord. Most parents tell their children not to be followers, then they say do as I say not as I do. Then they expect the child to just know what to do in most situations. If we show strenght and resolve in a situation children tent to follow that lead , they imitate what we do not as much what we say,  unless they go hand in hand.  I follow Jesus because I have faith in him I have seen what he can do. Your children do the same for the same reason. Since your children do what you do this is a great time to teach them and support them by you practicing what you preach. 1Cor 10:31 What ever you do do it to the Glory of the lord!! and your children will most likely do it to. Because they follow you following God
