WANTED Parents Who Put God First

Hear, O Israel The LORD our God, the LORD is
one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your
strength. These commandments that I give you
today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on
your children. Talk about them when you sit at
home and when you walk along the road, when you
lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols
on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
Write them on the doorframes of your houses and
on your gates. Deuteronomy 64-9
