Children are God’s gifts to us, they are blessings. They belong to God and we are God’s stewards. As parents, this scripture tells us to dedicate our children to the Lord and morally train them to follow Him. The book of Proverbs points out that there is a standard of life a child must attain. It says there are only two ways a person can go, the way of the wise and righteousness, and the way of the fool. One takes training and the other does not.
What does this mean? We see this scripture as a reminder that we must dedicate our children to the Lord. As parents/stewards it is our responsibility to train our children the way, God’s way, that will last throughout life. Don’t misinterpret this scripture as a promise. It is a truth with some exceptions. Why? Because your child still has self-will and may choose to go his own way. However, in most cases, children follow their parents’ training.
There is the right way to go and the wrong way to go. We should teach our children the right way to go. So that when they are on their own, they will choose what is right.
Now go and train your blessings!

This was awesome. Loved the bible by the baby! Neat…
So nice to meet you.
Thanks so much for joining us today at WFW♥
ah, what a sweet baby. My baby is older now, and I am seeing this in real life. It is wonderful!
Love the way you put that–training our blessings. Thank you for this; it was so nice. Blessings on this WFW.
Oh, what a precious picture and perfect verse, especially regarding the name of your blog! LOL! I did my WFW last week in a similar vein.
Lovely picture. As we were faithful in training our four children, God covered us in His grace and He was faithful to bring the fruit of righteousness into their lives. Thanks for sharing. Blessings.
Wow everyone! Nice to meet you all. Thanks for blessing this post! We’re glad to have joined the WFW meme.
We started our own meme “Family Focus Monday” – if you are interested! Here’s our first post: http://buzz.familyvenue.com/2010/02/family-focus-monday-feb-22/
No links yet as we’re new at this and we don’t really know how to tell others about it!
Looking forward to next week! :)
As an ex teacher I can also attest to the truth of that one.
