Teaching our children to be selfless and think of others first is a big parenting goal always looming in the backs of our minds, but seriously, it’s hard in the day-to-day moments of life to really instill this into our children’s minds and hearts. Our society says worry about yourself! Focus on yourself! Take care of yourself! ME ME ME!
But the scripture is clear, “So he answered and said, you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27
Love God. Love others. That’s our marching orders.
Our friend Rebecca Rapp-Salas joins us again to talk about raising children who are Kingdom minded and have a heart for serving others. Rebecca grew up on the mission field and met her husband on the mission field. The Salas’ love Jesus and have devoted their lives to loving Him and others. This was an easy conversation. Rebecca and her husband David are raising their daughters Amelie and Toni to live out Luke 10:27. They serve others well. Rebecca gives us ideas, thoughts, and intentional ways we can raise children to think of others first and desire to serve them.
We don’t have to teach our children to focus on their own needs. That comes with skin. ☺ We must teach our children to see those in front of us whom God created that need our love, impact, friendship, and possibly our food, clothes, money and Jesus.
