Do You Carry Your Umbrella

A small community of farmers was in a quandary as to what to do. Rain was important to keep their crops healthy and sustain the townspeople's way of life. As the problem became more acute, a local pastor called a prayer meeting to ask for rain. Many people arrived at the church to pray for the needed rain. The pastor greeted most of them as they filed in. As he walked to the front of the church to officially begin the meeting he noticed most people were chatting across the aisles and socializing with friends. When he reached the front his thoughts were on quieting the attendees and starting the meeting. His eyes scanned the crowd as he asked for quiet. He noticed an eleven year-old girl sitting quietly in the front row. Her face was beaming with excitement. Next to her, open and ready for use, was a very colorful and extremely large umbrella, much bigger than her in fact. The little girl's beauty and innocence made the pastor smile as he realized how much faith she possessed. No one else in the congregation had brought an umbrella. All came to pray for rain.

How to Lead Your Children to God

Raising godly children can be both terrifying and exhilarating responsibility. As parents, we want our children to stand up for their faith, be self-disciplined, and be kind and loving. However, teaching them about self-control and discipline alone is not sufficient. We need to also teach them about the word of God and the basics of a good Christian life. By exposing them to God's word and teachings, we can prepare them to face life situations and apply what they've learned. One of the most basic things we must teach them is the Ten Commandments. Without that, their understanding of right and wrong, good and evil, can be pretty limited. Praying with our children every day and teaching them the power of prayer is essential. Living in faith every day can help you lead your children to Christ in a very natural and beautiful way. Teach them about God's love, let them know that He is always there for them.
