God Made Moms to Teach Their Children….Self Respect

R-E-S-P-E-C-T is powerful word. Aretha Franklin’s song screamed it on behalf of women back in the day. But the word S-E-L-F R-E-S-P-E-C-T is just as powerful when it comes to being an individual. Many of us lack self-respect which makes it almost impossible for us to respect others. Self-respect is taught/learned, we aren’t born with it. So it’s up to parents to teach the children to respect themselves as well as others when it comes to their speech, their actions, and their dress. Our culture in itself has lost a lot over the years by just trying to fit into the mainstream. Do our children justice by teaching them to represent themselves in ways that scream “ I respect myself/parents enough not to or I respect myself/parents enough to do it”. Teaching our young children to respect their parents is a way of instilling self-respect for the growing years.

Be blessed and encouraged today, it’s a choice. ~ Delphine

Hebrews 13:7 -- Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

Matthew 7:12 -- Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
