Hello ,
I read an article by an author for Reader's Digest about how he studied the Amish people in preparation for an article on them. In his observation at the school yard, he noted that the children never screamed or yelled.
This amazed him.
He spoke to the schoolmaster. He remarked how he had not once heard an Amish child yell, and asked why the schoolmaster thought that was so. The schoolmaster replied, "Well, have you ever heard an Amish adult yell?"
Children often follow the lead of the adults that they watch and interact with. If you're a parent, you know this is a reality (that sometimes we might wish didn't exist.) Our children often display that which they have seen us act out in their presence.
Whether we're parents or not, how we conduct ourselves around children DOES make a difference.
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
How will you positively impact the life of a child today?
Have a great day and God bless!
Pastor Mike / The Open Word
