The Power of Action
As parents, we often talk to our children about important values and principles. However, it is equally important to embody these values through our actions. The example of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's grandmother, who defiantly shopped at Jewish businesses during the Nazi boycott, serves as a powerful reminder of the impact our actions can have on our children. Her courage and refusal to comply with unjust measures influenced Bonhoeffer to later resist the Nazis, even at great personal risk.
Guiding Children Through Example
Dietrich Bonhoeffer's grandmother's steadfastness in upholding her values serves as an inspiration for parents to guide their children through their own actions. By living according to our values, even in challenging circumstances, we can be powerful role models for our children. Bonhoeffer's grandmother showed him how to live by his convictions, which eventually led him to make sacrifices in his own life to fight against Hitler's regime. Parents can similarly inspire their children to stand up for what is right, regardless of the future's challenges.
