Virtues

Prodigal: How did it go?

Me: It went off without a hitch.

Prodigal: Great!

This is from the book Growing Up Social by by Gary Chapman and Arlene Pellicane

Kids know all sorts of things about video games, cartoons, and the latest apps. But they lack instruction about character. Virtues are behaviors that show high moral standards. Responsibility. Compassion. Persistence. Faith. There is no virtue app you can download into your child’s heart and mind. Virtues are taught and caught as children observe and listen to their parents talk about what is right and what is wrong.

And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD. Genesis 24:26
