As I look back on my childhood I can see more clearly the highs and the lows my parents went through in raising us. When I was a child I could not understand and nor could I appreciate the sacrifices that were constantly being made for me and my siblings on my parents behalf. I must say that the spiritual training my mother instilled in me has helped in my clear hindsight. “Train a child in the way he/she should go and when he/she is old he/she will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 This scripture is so true to our relationship we should have with our children and that is living the love of Jesus in front of them and telling them about the Man who died on the cross to save us ALL. This means parents, not only taking tv time from our kids but from ourselves too and spending that quality time with our children which they need so much. By doing this our children will look back with fond memories and appreciate us for what we did through Jesus leading us. Then the answer to this question would be yes they appreciate you oh so much! Remember when all else fails God won’t.
God Bless
