Life lessons

Sharing what seems important to us and not that important to our children, or is it? Do you think they record the things we say and save it for when it is important? Do you think they store it in their mind to bring it up and use it in the future? I wonder. Did I?
Looking back I wasn't a bad kid. I was pretty practical. I had a good head on for the most part. I think all us kids did. I wonder as the children get older, will the same follow suit? Do some parents get "lucky" just because or does the whole growing up in a good structure really help? I think both come into play. I know that we have to instill the goods but there is that choice thing. I think a lot of prays come in handy.
We as a whole family have adapted praying before meals. We use to do it before Joe but not consist. So last nite when Joe was not here for dinner, the eldest son before digging in says aren't we going to pray? And we did. That was a wonderful thing. Life is good only if we let it!
