Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3 There is nothing more rewarding than being a parent. As a parent, we learn that we often have to sacrifice so much to give our children what they deserve and to do what is best for them. As a single parent, I sometimes get discouraged when it seems like I can't give my daughter everything she wants or i can't afford to take off work to go on a field trip. Sometimes I would ask God, "God, are you sure you did the right thing giving me this child? I don't know what I'm doing and I really don't know if I'm doing any of this right." God gives us the beautiful reward called children because he loves us and wants to reward us with the most beautiful blessing on this Earth; the gift of life. Although my daughter was not planned and I was a teenage mother i never looked at my daughter as punishment. My daughter was a reward. A reward that probably slowed me down from a lot of things I could've been doing. My friends, I encourage you to do your very best to guard the hearts, minds, and lives of such a precious gift that God has blessed you with. I'm not just talking about spending time with your kids, giving them what they want, or providing their basic needs. As a parent we need to also guard what goes into the spirit and minds of our children. That means monitoring what they watch on t.v., what they listen too, and making sure that the peers they choose to socialize with are of the same moral character. God gives us a gift so precious that we ultimately are in control of their lives until they are adults. It is our job to keep them from the moral and spiritual pollution that invade the lives of so many of our youth. xoxo, Krystale Jane'l
