Well, I was expecting to be able to sit down at the computer today, but praise the Lord everyone seems to be doing much better. We were all in Church this morning first time in 2 mo the whole Seavey crew has been in church together. It was a wonderful thing!! Now to our next lesson:
Titus 2:4-5 "That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children...."
Yes, part of being the right kind of Help Meet is loving our children. They are a big part of our lives. It doesn't matter if you have 1 or 10 (yes I know families with even more than 10). Because we have children, *the most important thing a mother will do for her children is to create an atmosphere of peace and joy by deeply loving their Daddy and being satisfied with life.
Are you making that kind of home for your children? Or do you complain about what you don't have, what your husband doesn't do? OR Do you praise and raise Daddy up before the kids? It will and does make a difference!!
If your children were asked the following questions how would they answer?
1. Is your home happy?
2. What one thing would you like to see changed in your home that would make you a happier person?
To pretty strong questions, however think about how your son or daughter would answer.
Does you Son or Daughter want to be like you?
Are you the kind of parent that your little one says, "I want to be just like mommy or daddy?"
There is so much I could touch on here, however I'm just giving things we should think about and work on through prayer and Bible reading to change or make better.
*God has honored the mother wit the position of being the constant trainer of her young children.
Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
What are some ways we train? How to pedal bike, make their bed, pick up their toys after playing, how to cook, read, teaching them how to respect their elders and others as well as other peoples things, plus so much more. If you truly love your children you find training them a joy not a chore!
*The woman who invests in a child's life will be the one the child loves and with whom the child bonds.
Isaiah 28:9-10 "Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept: line upon line, line upon line: here a little, and there a little."
Are you teaching your children or do they just go through life not really knowing anything. Do they feel dumb or smart?
*The woman who invests herself in a child's life will be the one whom the child loves and the one with whom he will bond when he is older. Have you/are you investing in your child(rens) lives? III John 1:4 "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth."
Hears a new habit for you to form:
*Look into your child's eyes and smile many times each day. Take a 5 min break every thirty minutes or so to just play with him or her. Never work alone; always have your "little buddy" helping you.
Proverbs 13:24 "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes."
Proverbs 22:15 "Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him."
Proverbs 29:15 "The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame."
Be sure to train your child in the right way. Love him, care for him.
