Jacob's Ladder Camps and Retreats strives to strengthen inter-personal relationships, develop character, leadership, and introduce the importance of a relationship with Jesus Christ.

8 Essential Vitimans for a Child

At dinner this past week, Jeannie and I have been leading our girls in a 10 minute Bible Study for kids. In this study, there was also a message for parents from Tommy Nelson. Just like the old commercials for cereals, Tommy says , there are Eight Essential Vitimans for a Child:

1. Peace
2. Time
3 Truth
4. Example
5. Esteem
6. Acceptance
7. Affection
8. Discipline

Not only are these essential in a child's life, I think that each builds on the former. It is hard to disciple if you have not established numbers 1 through 7 in the life of your child.

I first heard Tommy Nelson speak during work week at Kamp almost twenty years ago. If you have not heard Tommy Nelson teach, go to the Denton Bible Church wedsite or search him at iTunes for his podcasts. He will stretch you, challenge you, and encourage you to grow deeper in your relationship with God.
