I like to think of it like this, being devout is more than just a choice of religion, it is who we are, and it is because of who we are that we are where we are today. If a child is brought up in the right way, he will not depart from it. He may make foolish choices along the way, but he will not depart from who he or she truly is.<BR/><BR/>I am fascinated that the Amish conversion rate after Rumspringa is 80%. I strongly believe it is because the values and beliefs are deepy instilled in them and so when they are presented with these very worldy choices, the spirit witnesses to them what is right, what feels good and right.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, my epistle is now finished.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470580327314877574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807457038664390833.post-27108004223948419392008-05-21T22:49:00.000-05:002008-05-21T22:49:00.000-05:00Wow Amy!

I don't think I remember ever hearing about this story.<BR/><BR/>It's scary to think about what I could be passing onto my children in something as simple as my everyday actions. <BR/><BR/>I, like you, could not fathom purposefully pulling one of my children into wrong doing. Sadly though, people still do it every day. <BR/><BR/>Maybe they don't actually tell their children to request the head of their enemy on a platter but they take their children with them when they commit crimes like shopliftig or robbing a bank, etc.<BR/><BR/>I pray for our children. They are so desensitised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807457038664390833.post-68886341651466468842008-05-03T07:01:00.000-05:002008-05-03T07:01:00.000-05:00Amy, you did a great job in sharing this story - a...Amy, you did a great job in sharing this story - and you are right, "sins of the father....."<BR/>Love you!

I've seen you comment on Rachel's study and I then notice a comment of yours on Rebecca's Fearfully and Wonderfully Made. <BR/><BR/>Of course, since I am in the trial of my life right now, I quickly noticed that you said God restored your marriage. I just wondered if you felt lead to share that miraculous resurrection. My marriage as of yet was not as fortunate. We are legally divorced by his (husband) desires but but I'm believing God to resurrect our dead marriage. <BR/><BR/>If you'd like to share your glorious story and give me any words of wisdom, please email me at: dierkesp@hotmail.com.<BR/>We do not have children together which I think sometimes can help restore the desire to reconcile. <BR/><BR/>I'll be back to your blog. <BR/><BR/>I love all your pictures. You have a beautiful family and are blessed!<BR/>PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807457038664390833.post-52203671481103301692008-05-02T19:12:00.000-05:002008-05-02T19:12:00.000-05:00There is a plaque beside my bed that my son gave m...There is a plaque beside my bed that my son gave me when he was about 10. It says, <BR/><BR/>"Mother I am what I am because you are what your are." I keep this close so that I am constantly reminded of the great responsibility and privilege I've been given as a mother. <BR/><BR/>I've often joked with my 4 to send me the "therapy bills" when they get older. I'm sure I will be the source of some of their "issues" in the years to come.<BR/><BR/>We can't help but shape our children. Our parents shaped us. For good or for ill, what we "are" does effect who they "are." <BR/><BR/>I love your thoughts. They've led me to ponder this ancient story with fresh vision this night. <BR/><BR/>Happy weekend!<BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807457038664390833.post-76979627074966469932008-05-02T17:46:00.000-05:002008-05-02T17:46:00.000-05:00Another great post Amy (even if it is on one Bad L...Another great post Amy (even if it is on one Bad Lady!). <BR/><BR/>It is true that our choices and behaviors have a HUGE impact on our children. I heard from a young woman the other day who said she always watched her mom do a bible study and never understood why her mom put so much time into it. She said for years her mom always left her bible and study papers laying around. And now that same girl (as a wife and mom) is in the bible study too. <BR/><BR/>I hope and pray that my kids will see a mom and dad following hard after God and then they too would follow that path.Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06726306325680033645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807457038664390833.post-52116556101694876502008-05-02T13:24:00.000-05:002008-05-02T13:24:00.000-05:00Amy,You have encouraged me with this Bible study b...Amy,<BR/>You have encouraged me with this Bible study because it reminds me to watch what I sow in my life. I am thankful to be reminded of this often before I sow a field full of tares in my children's heart as well as in my own.

We have to be careful what we model. We have to be careful what we allow to control our hearts. I find when this person comes to my mind and my thoughts want to go where they shouldn't I quickly give it to Christ otherwise my own anger and bitterness shows. <BR/>Have a blessed weekend!!<BR/><BR/>In His Graces~PamelaPamela (His maidservant)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15611570804370035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807457038664390833.post-70393715483011015662008-05-02T09:37:00.000-05:002008-05-02T09:37:00.000-05:00Wow...I remember this story.

I remember watching that movie. Was that Liz Taylor watching the cheeky men? <BR/><BR/>We have to be careful of what we are passing on to our children. The blessings of the father are passed to the children just as the curses of the father. Great devotion!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
