My Son Or Daughter Is A !

 In today's time our children have so many temptations that can lead them in countless directions. There is the temptation to become a criminal, to do drugs, gamble or to embrace alternative lifestyles. Being that a young man or woman's first years of becoming an adult, are their most challenging years its very important that they have a sound foundation before becoming an adult. Because this is when most of them experiment or try things out on their own. Most of them stray away from their upbringing or from the way they were raised. If you are a parent and happen to be reading this blog, take comfort, because if raised properly the seeds or knowledge that were planted in them will bare fruit. In other words most children who become adults will eventually go back to their roots or upbringing when all else fails.
When I have had conversations with my own children , most of them have the same attitude or thoughts that millions of  young adults have today.That their parents ways were to restrictive or were out of touch with today's time. What half of them fail to realize is that we too were once children and we also have experimented. Not on the level they are today, but we did do our own thing in our own special way.What we hope for is that what happen to us will happen to them. That our upbringing or rearing by our parents will bring them back home as it has done for many of us.That is why its so important to take your children to church real early in life, explain to them whats right or wrong and why a man or woman should act certain way or carry themselves in a certain manner.They should also explain to them the cost or consequences of their actions and also show them real life examples what will happen to them if they embrace certain lifestyles.Parents should become their children role model, because if they don't then their children, will look from them in the outside world. My father had a famous saying that I still remember to this day, what every you plant today will grow tomorrow. Which means if you raised your children, to be God fearing children, then in time they will return to being God fearing adults. But if you don't its a strong possibility that they won't. Please give them a strong foundation built on the word of God, that they can take it with them when they become adults. That way you won't be saying in the future, Oh my, my son or daughter is a! Instead of saying that I love them and I am very proud of what they have become.
Be blessed,
