Children are the most special gift that we can ever receive. They bring life and happiness into the rooms they enter. It is up to us to share the word of the Lord and teach them the ways of life. Their hands are small and inexperienced and we should not expect perfection when they throw a ball or color a picture outside the lines. When we walk side by side with them we should slow down and enjoy life through their eyes. Our children are only little once and will not be that way for long, we should make time for them, now. Their feelings are so fragile and minds so inquisitive, give them the attention and knowledge for a fruitful life. Children are truly a treasure and should be treated as God intended. They should be given discipline with love, guidelines as God has given us and hold them accountable as we will be accountable in front of our father. Give them freedom to make decisions, permit them to fall, so they can learn to walk. Give them encouragement to grow and prosper, correct them when they are wrong without criticizing. Do not give empty praise, give them praise when they have achieved. Don’t hold them to expectations of others, each child grows and learns at their own pace. Be sure to take them to the house of the Lord, they too will benefit from scriptures as they grow.
