“First we make our habits, then our habits make us!”

I read that not long ago, and I wish that I could tell you who said that, but I cannot.

I really like the quote. Think about the quote, the quote is full of meaning, and that’s why I say again:

“First we make our habits, then our habits make us!

KERIKERI: The New Baptist Church.

We as parents have special duties: to train, to teach, to provide for, to nurture, to control, to love, to correct, and to instruct our children.

Our children are the next generation.

“Leave a legacy for generations to come,” says an advertisement in the paper today. (The New Zealand Herald, Monday, March 8, 2018)

For almost 25 years we worked as missionaries in KAIKOHE (United Maori Mission)

One of our tasks was to train people to go into the schools to teach the Bible. I remember the training days in Kerikeri at the Baptist Church. I taught the Bible not only in a school in Kaikohe, but also in many schools around Kaikohe. We also supplied the schools with literature, especially for the Christmas season.

And I believe we left a legacy for generations to come.

The Bible says, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.”

You find that in verse in Proverbs 22:6. (NIV)
