Don'T Do It

Don't Do It As a parent I have caught myself Many times saying this phrase My first son's name in Noah So our favorite kids book had come to be One titled No No Noah Then I was like he needs to learn To use his own mind and learn From his mistakes to become independent So I am now gonna take one into these Don't do it, don't eat that , don't lie Don't cheat, don't murder, don't envy, Don't steal, don't drink that, don't eat to much, Don't watch that, don't commit adultery, You better not put that fork in the outlet, You better look both ways before you get run over, There is an endless chain of do's and don't My foolish mind can't remember all these So that I might appear good to man God gave us laws and rules before Jesus And even to this day for the ungodly But those which have been washed clean These have been written on your hearts and minds For the divine father leads your path There will be guilt within to show you You will see all the evil that tries to pull you back If you feel it is pulling you out of God's will Leave it whatever it is to remain in peace and joy This is the purpose of our heavenly father For He will mold you into a Child of God Our earthy father if we have one present Is to teach how to make it in this world Unless they have the spirit of God to direct them May God comfort, guide, and fill you with His love , peace and joy , And fill you with The mystery and truth in His word

Aww ,so great to hear back from you, I feel for you younger ones, I have a 16 and 12 year old and have seen how much different this world is getting not for the better sadly,. Which it's never been good it's got people in it : ). So glad you came by to read I will be reading more of yours my friend, religion makes everything way harder than it is, it's the confusion God sent to those who want self praise, love ya May God guide , comfort, and fill you with His peace, love , knowledge and wisdom: )

As human beings, we have limitations in teaching the young ! But, if we leave our children to God, the spirit of God will direct them. So rightly said...

I think I wrote in one haiku a long time ago—“you will feel wrong like fire” —this is an inspirational piece Stephen. Keep up the amazing work. Always, Laura
