"Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it". Proverbs 22:6
I am thankful that both of my children have chosen to be kind, loving, gentle and compassionate people. They live their lives in a manner that extends love to others. They do not judge others based on appearance, status in life, or how others think – they just love. They treat others with dignity and respect. They assist anyone in need simply to show love, expecting nothing in return. This makes my heart joyful.
From the time they were young we raised them to always be accepting of others regardless of race, handicap, economic status, brand of clothes, size of home, etc…accept and be kind to everyone because you do not always know the life or story of individual people. Every person has a story if you take the time to listen. My children have had friends from all walks of life. We have traveled many places, from prosperous areas to third world countries. In all these places we have had adventures and met wonderful people. God loves all people.
One day my children will stand before God and He will look at the fruit in their lives, how they treated others, how well they loved…and whether or not they loved Him. At that moment all that will matter is what He thinks. Thank you, God, for always protecting the hearts and souls of my children.
