Lessons for Children
>> Tuesday, September 29, 2009
Today I am participating in teh MckLinky Blog Hop because.. well.. it's appropriate for this blog. The hop is "Three Things Every Parent Should Teach Their Children". We don't want to state the obvious because then we'll just have a lot of people stating the same obvious things: Don't lie, don't steal, eat your veggies. :o)
With that said, here are 3 things I believe children need to be taught:
1. Do Not Be Led by The World:
The world promotes all sorts of attitudes, morals, values and behaviors which are unacceptable. In fact, most of what the world promotes and does is wrong. Don't be misled into their morality, their commercialism/materialism, their values. Most everything the world is seeking is of little importance and will distract you from all things which are important.
2. Do not be Led by Your Heart:
"Follow your heart" is the worst advice anyone can give or receive. Your heart is a treacherous thing. Treachery means "ready to betray". Think about that. Your heart will lead you in one direction and when it turns out bad, your heart will cause you to beat yourself up over your lack of wisdom. Then it will lead you off on another path. Do not "follow your heart". Pray, seek wisdom and use your head.
3. Learn from Nature:
There are so many lessons to be learned from nature! By observing and reasoning on things as God has created them as well as the results from using these in various ways, we can learn much as to what is proper and improper. With our minds properly trained, we can view things in their right perspective so that we may discern what is natural or unnatural, right and wrong..
