Morning Scripture
“But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things—”

Morning Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for all things - for your example of love. Thank you for reminding us that we are teachers of our youth, that our words and actions frame how our children learn and live. Help us to be sober, temperate, charitable, and reverent in our behavior. Create in us spirits that they can look toward and that you can be glorified. In Jesus name we pray and seek your guidance. Amen.
