“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God...” - Isaiah‬ ‭43:2-3‬ ‭
“Cuando pases por aguas profundas, yo estaré contigo. Cuando pases por ríos de dificultad, no te ahogarás. Cuando pases por el fuego de la opresión, no te quemarás; las llamas no te consumirán. Pues yo soy el Señor, tu Dios...” - Isaías‬ ‭43:2-3‬

RAISING MY CHILDREN
CRIANDO A MIS HIJOS


“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, *bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.” - Ephesians‬ ‭6:4‬ (* nurture, feed, raise, teach to stand, mature, cherish, train)
“Padres, no hagan enojar a sus hijos con la forma en que los tratan. Más bien, *críenlos con la disciplina e instrucción que proviene del Señor.” - Efesios‬ ‭6:4‬ ‭(* nutrir, alimentar, criar, enseñar a pararse, apreciar, entrenar)


“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” - Proverbs‬ ‭22:6‬ ‭
“Instruye al niño en su camino, y ni aun de viejo se apartará de él.” - Proverbios‬ ‭22:6‬ ‭

​“I asked the Lord to give me this boy, and he has granted my request. Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will belong to the Lord his whole life.” - 1 Samuel‬ ‭1:27-28‬
“Por este niño oraba, y Jehová me dio lo que le pedí. Yo, pues, lo dedico también a Jehová; todos los días que viva, será de Jehová.” - 1 Samuel‬ ‭1:27-28‬ ‭

[INTRODUCTION]
  • Our children are amazing — definitely keepers.
  • They can be a handful — especially when they start acting like us…
  • Children are a gift from God we must cherish. 
  • They are ours & their upbringing reflects on us. 
  • So, let’s take it easy and raise them right.

SEE YOUR CHILDREN AS GOD SEES THEM
VE A TUS HIJOS COMO DIOS LOS VE
“Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.” - Psalms‬ ‭127:3‬
“Los hijos son un regalo del Señor; son una recompensa de su parte.” - Salmos‬ ‭127:3‬
“Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” - Matthew‬ ‭19:14‬
“Dejen que los niños vengan a mí. ¡No los detengan! Pues el reino del cielo pertenece a los que son como estos niños».” - Mateo‬ ‭19:14‬ ‭

DAD, WE NEVER STOP RAISING THEM
PAPÁ, NUNCA DEJAMOS DE CRIARLOS
“My son, listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction. What you learn from them will crown you with grace and be a chain of honor around your neck.” - Proverbs‬ ‭1:8-9‬
“Hijo mío, presta atención cuando tu padre te corrige; no descuides la instrucción de tu madre. Lo que aprendas de ellos te coronará de gracia y será como un collar de honor alrededor de tu cuello.” - Proverbios‬ ‭1:8-9‬
“A good man leaves an inheritance to his grandchildren...” - Proverbs‬ ‭13:22‬
“El buen hombre deja una herencia a sus nietos...” - Proverbios‬ ‭13:22‬ ‭

YOU HAD THEM, YOU RAISE THEM
TU LOS TUVISTE, TU LOS CRÍAS 
  • Example from Elkanah & Hannah. 
    • He loved his wife, despite her condition. 
    • Together they worshipped in the temple.
    • They submitted to each other.
​“Whatever YOU  think is best, Elkanah agreed...” - 1 Samuel‬ ‭1:23‬ 
“Haz lo que mejor TE parezca —acordó Elcana—...” - 1 Samuel‬ ‭1:23‬ ‭
​“After sacrificing the bull, THEY brought the boy to Eli.” - 1 Samuel‬ ‭1:25‬ 
“Después de sacrificar el toro, llevaron al niño a Elí.” - 1 Samuel‬ ‭1:25‬ ‭
  • They dedicated their child to the Lord. 
  • Babysitters are necessary saviors. 
  • Church is an essential spiritual support. 
  • Grandparents are amazing moral support. 
  • We are our children’s primary caregivers. 
  • God inherits them to our raising - our reputatio.
“A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother.”-Proverbs‬ ‭10:1‬‭
“Los proverbios de Salomón: Un hijo sabio trae alegría a su padre; un hijo necio trae dolor a su madre.” - Proverbios‬ ‭10:1‬ ‭

  • Yes, it’s difficult raising children nowadays. 
  • But, you can’t give them back. No refunds!!!
  • Like marriage, kids are till death do you part. 
  • They’ll always be around — & they will multiply. 
  • But you will be there for them, won’t you?
  • So enjoy it—raise them kids—& raise them right. 
CONCLUSION
IT MIGHT BE HARD, BUT I WILL RAISE THEM RIGHT
PUEDE SER DIFÍCIL, PERO LOS CRIARÉ BIEN
