THANKSGIVING & PRAISE

Every parent, whether rich or poor, young or old, well-informed or unaware, are eager for their child to grow up on a path of love, pure intentions, and a sense of honor.  This new generation parent must teach our children not to appear too perfect, and while doing that, say less than necessary.

 

As the child, so the man and woman, is as true today as of old.  How impressive is a child who has kept itself undefiled.  Their character unblemished, influence strong, and having an undeterred courage that draws to them, both friends and foes alike.

 

The new generation parent is teaching our children to best utilize unavoidable enemies, while at the same time guarding against the placing of too much trust, in friends.  After mastering the art of proper timing, a being unfolds, whose life personifies a song of thanksgiving and praise.

 

If we had a choice, we all would choose to rear a remarkable person.  If the new generation of parents chooses to have such a child, they must start by training them today, that tomorrow may take care of itself.  Because good seed sown cannot bring forth bitter fruit.  I ask this a thousand times, and the answer is still no every time.  Because as we sow, so shall we reap.

 

To the new generation parents, with morality, temperance, and Godly virtue, train your children.  Teach them to embrace that which is good and reject evil, that they may know truth from falsehood and light from darkness, in the name of Jesus.  Instill within them a style of discipline that operates in truth.  To win in life through their actions and not by quarrel, so they recognize its time to stop, because the goal of victory has been reached.

 

When God formed us, and HE made laws by which every part of the body should be governed.  The Body of Christ is the church, and God made every member with the intent that it should perform a specific assignment.  As our FATHER, HE calls into use every member as HE sees fit.

 

In this generation, we are to teach the children to never be ashamed of their assignment, that they may perform it diligently when called upon to do so.  Their life is of special importance to God, and they were created for a definite purpose.  Teach them so they know, by means of giving of their life to God, they shall live forever.  Teach them to obey God’s Laws, because HE made them to govern their lives, and ruin comes to those who drift outside of HIS will.  As members of the Body of Christ, we are prevented from being used for any other purpose but that for which we were made.
