Hey Dad Can You Say This?

Hey Mom How About You?

How Would Your Kids Score You On This?

Scripture

1 Corinthians 11

 ¹ Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ. 

Observation

What kind of example are we setting for our kids and for us older folks our grandkids? Can we tell our children and our grandchildren, “Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ?” Or are there obvious contradictions that our children and grandchildren see in us everyday?

Are we doing things or are we involved in things that totally contradict a Christ-like lifestyle? Do our children hear us lie (like: telling someone on the telephone that our spouse is not home when he/she is), do they see us cheat or steal (like not being totally honest on our taxes so we get more money back from the government or calling in sick to our work when we are not).

Do our children observe us looking at television or videos or looking in magazines and we know that the content is not right. Do our children see us gambling: buying Lotto Tickets or spending time and money at the Casino? What kind of example is that?

Our children and our grandchildren need for us to be examples. They desperately need to see Jesus in us with no contradictions! Are you and I willing to set the example?

 Application

I want to live my life in such a way that I can say to my kids and my grandkids, “Follow my example, just as I follow the example of Christ.” How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me be the Christ-like example to my children and my grandchildren and to everyone else around me.
