Don’t Just Teach Them, Show Them
April 30, 2009
There are opportunities that come up throughout life where as parents you get the opportunity to “put your money where your mouth is”. By that I mean, you teach your kids to do certain things because there are things that you know you want your kid to do. But then there are times where you get the opportunity to show your teen what to do, instead of teach them. This is one of those opportunities.
We are participating in Sycamore Creek Church’s 24 Hour Prayer Event on Friday May 8th- Saturday May 9th. We have been asked to take one of the early Saturday morning hours. So we as a youth family, are taking the 1am prayer hour.
Now this provides a great opportunity for parents to show their teen how much they value prayer. At 1am students are not allowed to be driving on the road in Pickerington (it’s the law!) so here is my challenge to parents
Step up and bring your student and join me for an hour at 1am to pray for the people in our church, the needs of our church and for each other! I know some of you have things to do on Saturday, so if you can’t make it at this time, find a different time!
Don’t let an opportunity to “Put your money where your mouth is” pass you by!
