Simple Instructions: “THREE THINGS EVERY PARENT SHOULD TEACH THEIR KIDS”.
You don’t have to be a parent to participate. Everyone was a kid at some point, so you know important things they should be taught.
To keep from getting alot of the same obvious answers, try to be specific and let’s bypass some of the obvious: be honest, love your parents, love God, be kind to others, accept Jesus as your Savior (Christian parents will feel obligated to list some of those).
This is not a list of the MOST IMPORTANT, so do not feel like you must list the highest priority or the obvious, which will end up having the same thing repeated by everyone over and over. Try to be specific and creative. List your three items with a sentence or two explanation.
The most important? ( and like it says in the instructions, I do feel obligated…)
Jesus said: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40
After that – What Three Things do I think would serve a child well to know?
1. Learn a good, basic recipe for baking yeast bread. It’s not a hard skill to master once you’ve tried it a few times and you’ll never be at a loss for what to bring with you when invited to share a meal. Everyone loves home baked bread.
2. Develop interests and hobbies that you can pursue on your own. Learn to be happy by yourself. A happy person is a blessing to others.
3. Remember that you and everyone you know are mortal. Use your time wisely.
Remember that you and everyone you know are also immortal. Rejoice! And use your time wisely.
I’m glad we stopped at a list of three – I’m afraid that’s all the wisdom Grandmother has to share. Please stop by the other Blog Hop participants to read their entries. Why not add one of your own?

Wow I have missed you. This is a wonderful list. I see you are gone from EC now. I am staying as we really need them to work hand in hand with adgetize to when we try to start selling things.
Grampy is right about Adgetize. I did my 100 today in less than an hour and every single blog they have is an EC blog. with 100 a day as Publisher it makes the service free.
I hope you will consider it. Maya and the bread both look just beautiful!!
Hugs,

That bread idea is fantastic. Its something I wish I knew how to do and just haven’t gotten around to learning. Plus you are totally right, when going to dinner at someone’s house, fresh bread would be amazing.
I can almost smell the fresh bread smell now….
