Risky Business

when I look at all the data in regards to our youth and teens the statistics are frightening and to me it seems that our children are now more at risk when it comes to sex, guns, drugs and drink the enemy is aggressively targeting them as they are our weakest link the risk of surviving is what our children now have to face the risk of disease, the risk of death, the risk of just being in the wrong place unfortunately they don't desire to listen to what their parents have to say they think they're grown and too quick to reply "let me do it my way" they feel that as parents we don't respect their wishes and desires they fail to see that we only want them to achieve and aspire as parents we've gone through what they've yet to experience in life we lived through the risks we encountered the same struggles and strife our children can't seem to understand nor comprehend that we ourselves were children long before them and the only way that we were able to have matured and grown was to accept the instructions and advice from parents of our own the risky business of just living is what we want to eliminate so that our children don't get caught up in the danger before its to late it wouldn't hurt to raise your children up in the ways of Jesus the Christ and then pray that they will never stray from it in life and as parents to never forget our own rebellious years when we sent our moms and dads into states of despair talk to your children with empathy and a godly demeanor introduce them to Jesus the Christ and hope they become believers so that those risky businesses that are always lurking around will never have the opportunity to take our children down encourage your kids, support your teens, talk to and treat them with respect don't be too quick to judge nor admonish for then you they will reject the risky business the dangers in life is what we desire to keep away in order for us to raise productive and positive adults one day
