I've said that a hundred times, "I remember my dad always saying..." In my life it has been everything from relationship advice and wisdom to repairing one of the many Lawn Boy Mowers he picked out of the trash to conscientious work ethics. He always had something to say and it was always welcomed. Even now, today with my dad being gone more than 20 years, his words still echo when the time is right and I always remember my dad saying things. This makes it all the more important to 'say' things to my own children. The Bible says Deuteronomy 6:6 "...and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up." This can be translated to every good thing we know as a parent. When we are with our children we are teaching them whether we like it or not. Teaching them by actions and words. So if we don't make an appoint to be positive and constructive we are doing more harm than good.
Teach them all the time, talk about good, instruct, put in the time. There is no greater service you can do for your children than to teach and train.
