And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up (Deut. 6: 5-7).
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding (Proverbs 9: 11).
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD (Psalms 34: 11).
Choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD (Joshua 24: 15).
He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed (Proverbs 13:20).
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother: for they shall be an ornament of grace unto thy head, and chains about thy neck (Proverbs 1: 7-9).
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it (Proverbs 22: 6).
And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children (Isaiah 54: 13).
Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen (Jer. 10: 2).
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6: 4).
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate (Psalms 127: 3-5).
I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth (I John 1: 4).

What a great set of verses to share with my family on Monday, their first day back to school. Enjoy your vacation!
Just catching up on my reading... Those are a great encouragement -we're starting school tomorrow too! I also said a loud Amen to your post on Christian's using the voices they have to make an impact in this world. We have sat too silent for too long and thankfully some are waking up! Good encouragement :)
