The Lord love your kids far more than you do. Pray, Keep them grounded and they will see how God is, and will continue to look out for them in the future. ALL over the Book, we see how much the kids are loved. Also, on their own, over time, they will see that selfish behavior ultimately leads to pain. When we see someone as lost, wayward and destined for utter torment, it is easier to have compassion for them and to genuinely pray for them. Also, the Word speaks of loving ones enemy as like putting coals of hot fire upon their heads (so by loving them, you are only being obedient and it is their fault if their head develops a burning sensation LOL!)
Very cool about your son! He is stepping up to be the man of the home and sees his growing in faith as a part of this. One of the single moms at my church hangs out with the male and female singles and has even taken her 10 year old down to Mexico for the weekend mini missions outreaches. He has been down there at least 6 times. The men take him under their wings and so he gets to see examples of men with right priorities. I pray such men will come into your sons life.
