Deuteronomy 6:6-7--"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road."It is important that our children and grandchildren see us live out our faith. How can we teach them how to live if we don't live it ourselves. They need to see that we read the Bible, pray and attend worship with fellow believers on a regular basis. We who have children or teach children know that the little ones learn by example and observation. They unsually don't learn when presented the information once. It takes continual, relentless (in some cases) repetition of the subject being taught. Parents not only teach their children the alphabet, they teach them lifestyle. Is that important to you? Then keep on teaching by doing what you know is right.
This art began as an old children's book "By The Roadside" in which was found nature stories. It was a very well-used book by some learner. I added a copy of a vintage image (thank you, playingwithbrushes on Flickr), and other ephemera, stickers, glitter glue, old buttons, lace, hankies, buckle and ribbons. I covered it with a protective coating.
