Our Adult Children Are Still Watching Us

Just as too many parents stop actively parenting when their kids enter high school (or even middle school), too many parents stop remembering their adult children are still watching their example. 

We always watch those on the trail of life who are ahead of us.

 Are they keeping the faith? 

Are they living lives of integrity (doing the right thing even when no one is watching)? 

Are they ordering their life the way God has said to in the Bible? 

It is a tragic happening when parents get their children raised and then decide to 'let their hair down'. They don't attend church regularly. They start spending their money frivolously. They have an affair or decide abortion and gender erasing are no longer important when they go to the polls. 

May I remind us all that Democrats are those who pushed having a full term baby killed by sucking out its living brain out, so it was dead in order to deliver it dead rather than alive (since killing it born alive would not have been approved...)? Many Democrats are in favor of killing babies born alive  up to one year of life since some problems don't show up until then. I recall when I was newly married sending photographs to everyone on my email list before an election to help people remember what 'hands that shed innocent blood' means. God HATES it.. He abhors killing innocent people. You know what He doesn't abhor? Lots of things people want to pretend are more important than unborn human beings....

DO NOT BE DECEIVED, GOD IS NOT MOCKED, WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, HE REAPS.

So older parents, remember your adult kids need to see you living to a ripe old age and still walking with God. They need to see you sacrifice for the kingdom and serve. They need to see you TRUST God in the hard times that come with aging. If you end up widowed, they need to see you abstain from fornication if you enter into a new relationship. 

THE GRASS WITHERS AND THE FLOWERS FADE, BUT THE WORD OF THE LORD ABIDES FOREVER. 

In closing, be careful who your friends are as you age. Just because you've known someone a long time isn't a reason to stay close to them if they have turned from God. Your kids will see who you really are by who you consider your closest confidants, so choose people who love the Lord and genuine truth. Bad company still corrupts good morals. ♥
