Water

I want Zach to drink water, not juice; even though his juice in well watered down his taste for sugar has increased. What I am realising though is that the simplest training is by leading by example We were holidaying with friends recently and my lips were dry, as per usual. My friend kindly suggested that this might have something to do with my lack of water intake. So I took on the challenge. I was amazed – it worked. I’ve known for a long time that I needed. Since changing my habits I’m now finding it much easier to convince Zach to drink water because we are drinking it together. It’s made me think, what other things, of greater value, will I need to lead by example? My mind has wandered to things like food and exercise. However, more importantly there is his walk with God, taking time to pray, sing and be still before Him.
Zach is watching and learning what is important from us. It is imperative for me to prioritise my day with God first, not just for me but for my children as well

Proverbs 3:1-2 My son, do not forget my teaching, But let your heart keep my commandments; For length of days and years of life And peace they will add to you. Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good repute In the sight of God and man.
