The hard reality is we’re easily replaced, but not as the parents of our kids. We’re all they’ve got. Likewise, many influntial people in our kids lives will come and go, but not parents. We’re in it for the long haul, playing the long game, for them.

Lots of people will want things FROM our kids, but parents are uniquely fitted because we always want the best FOR our kids. When It comes down to it, most parents genuinely want God for their kids. So, as parents, we teach them to obey us, because that makes obeying God a lot easier later on. We make time to talk, and to listen to them. We share our story of faith, knowing they’ll look for God to do a similar work in them. We share life, and share big truths in ways their young minds can understand it. We point them to Jesus, because we recognize that godly children are the best investment you can make in life.

Parents, no matter how important our role may be in our job or anything else, parenting our children is more important. What might be keeping you from giving your best to your kids? And is it worth the price you’re paying to keep it there?

…tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done. Psalm 78:4
