The topic of life purpose is important for Christians because God has a special plan for all believers. We can begin living our purpose once we commit to living God’s plan for our lives without it making drastic changes that can be devastating. When we do, it will overflow into the lives of our children, family and others.
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6.
Teaching them that God has a plan for their lives brings confidence that something special is waiting for them. You can help them by teaching them to pray as children to receive God’s guidance. Show them by example a life of following Christ daily. Teach them that they can center on God as you do for your day the same as with the things scheduled for their day such as school, choosing friends, social activities and more. Taking them to a Word church will help them make wise, Godly choices in life.
Part of life purpose as a parent is to raise our children and protect them against harm. Christians are responsible to teach their children about living a Godly life by precept and example daily.
Help your children replace excessive phone, TV, or online game playing with time for God by finding church activities and Bible studies they can relate to. Bond with each child by learning about them. Encourage their talents as they can be used by God for their life purpose.
Teach Children the importance of eating healthy, exercising and getting enough sleep. Expose them to healthy food while teaching them why drugs are bad and how they cause addictive behaviors which can keep them from following their dreams, and their most fulfilled lives in Christ Jesus.
Center on God, and prioritize your life to have time for family. Spend quality time together in ways that include activities all family members can enjoy. Take time to consider the needs of younger family members who may need special games or attention to feel included.
