Philippians 4
1Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!...
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
As parents we teach this to our children. It's one of the rules of Holy living that the Lord has given us that we pass on to our children - I liked the catch at the end ...
Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice.
That certainly puts it all into perspective.

good one. I loved reading this especially since I've been thinking about that clip that Arlene put in fb the other day, the one about the kids watching everything you do. This totally puts things into perspective.
