God Made Moms To Teach Children...Parents Build You Up

Most of us have seen or heard some famous person pay accolades or express their appreciation to their parents for always being in their corner, for always being supportive, for always being firm when they needed to be, for speaking life, for making sacrifices, for all the wisdom they have passed on, for correcting them when they were wrong, and for just loving them. Seldom do we hear persons express appreciation to their parents for tearing them down, for speaking negative, for trying to manipulate, for being jealous, or for them trying to relive their lives through their children. Parents are to build up their children not tear them down. Mothers are to nurture the children and their home by loving them and showing them love. Fathers nurture their children by showing them and their mothers love and patience, by providing and protecting, by disciplining when discipline or correction is needed. Parents build children up, parents do not tear children down. Many parents today are reflections of their parents but as parents ourselves we choose what parents our children see. So decide what type of parent you want your child to say you are or were. There is more to parenting then providing food, clothes, and shelter.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~ Delphine

Proverbs 17:6 Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.

John 9:23 That was why his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."

2 Corinthians 12:14 Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.
