Mom Heart Moments #329

He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

WHEN YOUR CHILDREN WALK WITH YOU, are they walking with a wise person? Can they look at your seasoned responses, your insightful understanding of people, your fortitude in difficult times as they walk with you in the moments of your daily life? If you think about it, teaching our children to walk never really ends. They watch us, listen to us when we speak to others, hear us talking with our husband behind closed doors. Our lives are the walk that our children will imitate.

With confusing voices, compromised ideals, wavering morals, secular values, and so many opposing opinions, where will our children find clarity and strong, secure values to embrace? As mothers, we must be ready and equipped with steady feet and strong souls to lead the way for our children with integrity. We will give them confidence as we walk, staying close to them, holding their hands, and showing them sure footsteps to follow.

No matter how old your children become, you are the example for them. They will always be looking at you for a vision of integrity, ideals, and ways to interact with God. The longer you provide your children with wisdom based on truth, the more they will consider your advice as they walk their own adult journey.

Are you walking in wisdom today? Is your life one you want your children to follow? Is your pathway in your life with God getting brighter and brighter? May God lead us on His path with integrity in each step.
