Morality Monday - R-Week

"This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: 'In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength,'" (Isaiah 30:15)

Repentance--Explain the meaning of repentance to your children. We all must turn from sin and turn towards God. Take some time to repent during your daily prayer time together (i.e. what have you done that you need to ask God's forgiveness for?) and reinforce it throughout the day by having your children apologize when they hurt someone. I always have my 20-month-old say she is "sorry" and give the child she hurt a hug or gentle pat. This helps her understand that she hurt someone else with her actions and reminds her of how she should treat others.
