Your family gave you more than your looks. They gave you habits. Some help you. Some hurt you. You pass those habits to your kids unless you stop them. You stop them by following Jesus. Someone has to say it stops now.
Israel forgot God. They lived like the people around them for hundreds of years. Their kids grew up not knowing who God was. That is what happens when you drift. Old habits take over. Change takes time, work, and a new way of thinking.

God told Israel what to do. Follow me and life will go well. Your choices shape your family. If you change your life, you change your children.
You need to name the baggage you were handed. Bring it to Jesus. He breaks old patterns and helps you build a new path.

Deuteronomy 6 gives a simple plan.
• Do what God says. Your kids watch more than they listen.
• Love God. Obedience proves it.
• Talk about God in normal moments.
• Make your faith visible.
• Stay alert when life is good so you do not forget Him.
Start with your own life. When you change, your kids have a better chance to change too.
