Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Matthew 7:24
The wonderful parable found in Matthew 7:24-27 is great to use with children, to help them understand the importance of honoring God by not sinning. Read this parable to them, or relay it in story-like fashion. We have a wonderful book by Candle Books called "The Two Builders" that we read to my boys (who, of course, love the idea of building things). It is a great way to help them understand in yet another way the importance of obedience and putting the Word of God (i.e. honor your mother & father, do not lie, treat others as you want to be treated) into action.

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 1 Peter 1:3
Welcome to Encouraging Words for Moms, a site created by a heart convicted to glorify God. As a mother of two toddler boys, I am constantly reminded, in the sweet conviction of the Holy Spirit, that I am powerless to "bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4) apart from Him.
I Peter 1:-3-4 tells us that "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness" (emphasis mine). Together let's encourage one another in Christ on this wonderful journey called motherhood by drinking deep from His Word!
