Thank you, CTD

I've had to read this one a few times and perhaps I've finally caught the 'intent' of your reply. I do like that idea of reading the Proverbs.

In fact, in case someone would like to get a start on reading the Bible everyday, it is good input to follow the Proverbs, by beginning with the first day of each month. As there are 31 Proverbs, it gives one chapter for each day. If one is missed, simply continue on with that days Chapter.

[All men are either born with or acquire immediately after birth the fundamentals of both real science and real philosophy. No small child takes seriously the proposal that a thing can both exist and not exist for example.

The basics of real philosophy aren't something we need to study much, either, for we already know. He who desires more than the basics I would direct to the book of Proverbs.]

Proverbs 2

My son, if you
...treasure my
commands within
you...you will
understand the
fear of the LORD.
---Proverbs 2:1,5 -

ADDIE was a bit worried. Before we all sat down for Sunday dinner, someone had started eating. That's when our 3-year-old granddaughter said, "We haven't prayed yet." She was concerned that we might forget to give thanks.

Her concern was a good sign. It showed that at her young age, Addie was beginning to form one of those good habits that parents teach their children as part of their instructions for life. This little routine, for instance, helps her see the value of prayer and thanksgiving, which can be a powerful resource for her in the years ahead.

Raising children in an age of hostility toward the Christian faith is not easy. Parents wonder how best to help their little ones learn to trust the Savior and live to please Him. Proverbs indicates that a key to directing children is through purposeful instruction by parents (Prov. 1:8) on such things as listening to wisdom (2:2), seeking discernment (2:3), understanding the fear of the Lord (2:5), recalling parents' teaching (3:1), and gaining insight (4:1). These become habitual when parents give instruction and when children "retain" those words of teaching (4:1-4).

Got kids or grandkids? It's never too early to begin instructing them in wise living.

God gives us children for a time
To teach them how to love the Lord,
To train them in His righteous ways,
To follow and obey His Word.

The character of your children tomorrow
depends on what you put into their hearts today.----
