Use Creation to Teach Your Children About Jehovah - USE CREATION TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN- HOW? -Continue

 Do parents have to spend a lot time researching a particular animal or plant before discussing what that creative work reveals about Jehovah?  Not necessarily.  Jesus did not give a long explanation regarding the feeding habits of ravens or the cellular composition of lilies. Granted, your child may occasionally  enjoy a deeper discussion about nature, but sometimes a simple observation or question is enough to make a point.  Note what a brother named Christopher remembers fr0m his childhood:  "My mom would simple comments to help us appreciate the creation around us. For example, when were near the mountains, she might say: 'Look at  how huge and beautiful those trees are!  Isn't Jehovah amazing?' Or when we were near the ocean, she might say: 'Look at the power of those waves!  Isn't God powerful?" Christopher says:  "Those simple, thought provoking comments had a bit impact on us." 

As your children grow older, you can train them to give more thought to creation and to draw conclusion about Jehovah's personality. You can highlight one of God's creative works ask your children,  "What does this teach you about Jehovah?" You may be surprised to hear what they have to says. - MATTHEW 21:26.
