Children Are Known By Their Actions

Even a child is known by his actions,
By whether his conduct is pure and right.
Proverbs 20:11 (NIV)

•    Pray your grandchildren will learn to follow instructions and conduct themselves with right behavior.
•    Encourage your grandchildren to be obedient to their parents and those in authority over them.
•    Help them to understand that being well behaved is pleasing to their parents, teachers, and others. Appropriate behavior will always be beneficial to them.
•    Help them to understand that sometimes it is hard to be good but God will help them to make right decisions for appropriate behavior, if they ask him.

Heavenly Father, give my grandchildren a desire be obedient and demonstrate right behavior so they will be known for their pure and right actions.

Some voices impart truth; others don’t.
