A NEW DAY

It is now a NEW DAY..what do I mean by that you ask? I mean that now Easter has passed by, Christ has risen and will be there for us always. HE has always been there for us, just do we let Him in always? I don't think we do. I know you mean well in you everyday life, but do you really live by what you say? Better still, do you live by what God says? You may think you do, but step back and look at yourself.Do you call yourself a Christian, yet don't go to church, live like GOD teaches us? If you are answering NO to either of these questions, you need to do a reality check, maybe. GOD would want you to live by the words HE has taught us, and is continuing to teach us each day. If you don't go to church, to GOD's House, you really should, especially if you are up and able to go. Especially if you have children that are not grown up and live on their own. They are the ones that need to hear how GOD wants us to live and learn HIS words. They are the innocent ones that we need to let know that GOD will always be there for not only us, but them for ever and ever. HE will never give up on us, none of us, no matter what age we are. HE is always and will always be our SAVIOR. HE alone is the ONE that will hear our every word. We do not even have to speak words, just think what we want to say to HIM, and HE will hear them. I don't want to sound hard hearted or mean to anyone, but you need to listen to what GOD is and has been telling everyone. HE alone can save us, no one else can do that, only GOD, our SAVIOR! Our children need to know HE does really exsist, not only in one or two people's hearts, but HE lives in everyone's hearts that will allow Him to come in. All they have to do is believe in HIM and know that HE will take care of them the rest of their lives, and after that, HE will take them up to HIS home, heaven. Children can learn so much, especially from parents that are willing to take the time to sit down with them and just talk to them. They are just little people, just like us, but younger and shorter, most of the time. They have such love in their hearts and are so innocent. They do not know what hatred is, unless we, as adults, teach them. They do not know what prejudice is, unless we, as adults teach them. They do not know what lies are, unless we, as adults lie to them. You always need to be on your P's and Q's as to what you are doing and saying. These little people, our children, will copy us no matter what we say or do. They see us do something, they think it is OK to say it, do it and think it, because we, as adults, are saying it,doing it, and yes, maybe thinking it out loud! Children need our guidance all the time, not just because we are their parents, but even if we see another child that is doing wrong and their parent's aren't around, ask where they are, either show them the correct way, or let the parent know what the correct way is, so they may tell their chid(ren). We, as adults, parents, are their first teacher(s). We need to let them know right from wrong, long before they go to any school, or even any pre-school. They are never too young to learn. They come out of their mother's womb, learning. Their first taste of milk, they have learned to suckle it, either from "mom" or a bottle. But that is learning, not that they know it, but in order to get nourshment, they must be given it, so they learn to eat properly. That will go with them for their entire lives, learning. If we bring them up right, by GOD's way, then they too will learn right from wrong. They will learn GOD is there for them too. They will learn to follow HIS laws, read his words and from the Bible on what they need to do in order to live their own lives. Just stop and watch yourself, see how you're behaving and acting around your children, or anyone else's children. Ask yourself, "Is this the way GOD would want me to teach HIS children? IF your answer is "NO", then you have some learning to do yourself. You need to think of how you want your children to see you. Do you want them to see your being a "hating person, a liar, a prejudice person? If the answer to that question is NO, then change your own ways to GOD's way. Do the things HE wants you to do. Do the things HE would teach, and how HE would show the children. You are the first teacher for children, so be there for them! That little "Golden Rule" is ringing in my ears..."Do unto others, as you would want them to do unto you". Until later my dear friends!
