We often share at church that parents are the primary influence in their children’s lives… I’m not sure people always believe me. With Justin Bieber, Glee, Mily Cyrus, and more always around the corner on media children are exposed too – well don’t we often feel relegated as parents to just being the keepers of order and sanity? This article is a great reminder that parents are still the greatest influence in their children’s lives! That means what we say matters to our children – no matter what attitude they may give us back. That means our love matters to our kids – no matter how they try to pull away. That means our faith matters to our kids – no matter what they say or do. Parents -we are the greatest influence in the lives of our children. Let’s take that as a challenge and affirmation and keep moving forward as parents and in nurturing faith at home.
