I’m going to try to do this from my phone because the laptop is dead…

Children from the Worn….

If you are a parent, this can relate to you. You are worn,  you are torn, you have your past…and your present…you think you have no right to teach but you have EVERY right to teach…

Life is not easy. Look back on where you were and where you are now…it isn’t easy. That’s proven. Look at your children. Really look at them. It is so easy to get into the motion of the day-to-day. You feel successful if you can get in bed at night and everyone is alive. Great! Good job! Now, reflect. What did you learn today?. What did you teach your children today? Write it down. Even if you didn’t reach the end of a lesson, have you built towards the lesson?

We, as parents, have got to understand the level of magnitude of our responsibility as parents. We literally have control over something that happens in the next twenty years, forty years, seventy years…. Whether that be an important decision that our child makes, an impact our child has on another person, or a moment our child has, in their reflection time….WE have that control….RIGHT NOW! It matters what we do or say every single day! It matters how we discipline them or how we encourage them. It matters, every breath we breathe into their lives as to what happens when they mature into adulthood.

Don’t look at having children as the “thing we are supposed to do” or “what that next step was supposed to be”. In fact, I hear all the time of people not wanting to have children because of “what this world is becoming”…  YOU are their world. YOU have the authority and the privilege of raising them and educating them on how to deal with “the world”…”society” as I like to call it. Challenge them and educate them on how to do what is right and what is best for them REGARDLESS of what the world tells them to do. It’s an amazing worth that we have, as parents, to contribute to the next hundred years.

Leave your legacy and make it what you know it can be. We are the world!

Bye for now,
