A Child's Training

(Prov. 22: 6 / Heb. 5: 14 / Deut. 6: 6-9 / 2 Tim. 3: 13-15, 16 / Matt. 19: 13, 14) (Part One of Two) If A Child Wants To Eat Candy All Day Long … When You Tell Them ‘No!’ - - Is It Wrong? If A Child Wants To Stay Up On School Nights And Not Go To Bed … Will You Leave The Matter At That And Do What They Said? If A Child Wants To Run The Streets At All Hours of The Night … Would You Allow It And Say ‘It’s Alright’? If A Child Fell Into Hanging Out With The Wrong Crowd … Would You Do Nothing Thereby Showing It’s Allowed? If A Child Gets Some Silly Notion And Is Being Misled … Will You Not Try To Talk Some Sense Into Their Head? And When Your Child Makes A Mistake (‘Cause All Of Us Make Life’s Errors) Are You Going To Be Loving & Forgiving Or Come Off Like Some Holy-Terror? If You See That Your Child’s Life Is In Imminent Danger … Would You Leave His Soul’s Wellbeing To Some Ulterior-Motive Stranger? All Children Need Education That’s Why We Send Them To School But Isn’t Home Training The Best Place For Understanding Life’s Rules? Before Your Child Gets Polio or Smallpox Or Some Other Life Threatening Situation Would You Not Seek Out Preventative Medicine or Cures Thru Vaccinations? If A Child Just Wants To Play And Not Do Chores or Homework … Would You Not Try To Find Out Why A Lazy Streak Is Starting To Lurk? If Your Child Is Depressed Unmanageable or Confused … Would You Not Put Extreme Effort Into Finding Just What You Could Do? If A Child Needs To Be Shown Love and We Withhold Our Kisses & Hugs Are We Guilty When They Grow Up Into ‘Crypts & Bloods’? If Your Child Doesn’t Want To Talk and Retreat In Hiding From The World Wouldn’t You Do Everything In Your Power To Help Your Precious Boy or Baby-Girl? If Your Child Has Low Self Esteem Or Shows A Lack of Character … Wouldn’t You Want To Be Their Value & Virtue Narrator? If Your Child Just Really Needs Someone To Listen & To Talk To … Would You Not Prefer that That Someone Be You? I Once Knew A Police Officer Who Had Said of His Beat … A Child Can Get Discipline At Home Or They’ll Get Their Beatings In The Streets And The Same Can Be Said Of A Young Child’s Impressionable Mind It Needs To Be Nurtured At Home Or It Will Eat Every Junk & Stuff They Find (Part One of Two) Written & © : 7/16/2013 By: The MoonBee
