And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. — Deuteronomy 6:6-7
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. — Deuteronomy 6:6-7 NIV
Thought and Reflection

Every heartbeat is God’s resounding drumbeat of lovingkindness in reminding us that we have been blessed to have another chance to serve Him with our best.
This blessing can be easy to forget. We should remember these facts as we teach them and show them and practice these truths with and in front of our children. We should not let them leave the learning of these truths to us to teach them by example. Find teachable moments that present how we believe, thank our Heavenly Father and to impart the truth of God.
