Five Minute Friday Respect

Image
          I have been thinking a great deal about respect this week. My children have just returned from a five week vacation with their father. We had a bumpy start getting back into our new routine. I want my children to respect me and my parents, their grandparents because we also live them, I also need to remember that I need to show them respect and lead by example. If I want to teach them kindness, I need to model kindness. If I want to teach them dignity than I need to behave in a dignified manner. I want strength and dignity to be my clothing as referenced in Proverbs 31. If I want God to be their refuge and peace, I need to live my life taking refuge in God. It is not a formula, just because I live this way does not mean that my children will pick up these traits, but I do want to live them out because more is caught than taught. Do you have any tips on living a life of respect? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
