Before Harry Truman was five years old, his mother Martha had used her large-print Bible to teach him how to read. He said by the time he was thirteen years old, he had read this "old Bible three times through".
Mothers, what you do matters. Teach your children to love the Bible. You will not be around forever to coach your children spiritually, nor will they probably stay in the same church always. The Bible can for a lifetime be the ever-present, tangible reminder and initiator of faith.
Ida Eisenhower had her sons read the Bible at the dining table. If one of them made a mistake while reading, he had to pass the Bible to the next brother. A church once awarded her a citation for memorizing 1,365 Bible verses. About this time, she gave Dwight a watch for reading all the Bible.
Mothers, what you do matters. Redeem meal times. Turn them into mini-worship-services. Let them be built-in reminders of God.
