A day of Praise

   Praising the Lord is how we wanted to start our day. I want to take this time to pray and thank my heavenly father for all that I am and all that he gives me and my family... I have prayed for understanding for so long and all I ever wanted was to be able to give a word to another person that needed to hear what the Lord has us here for. You know I felt that I would never get to a place where I would be able to understand the bible or it's contents in it...Better yet, put it to use and be able to try to live by it.. We are a generation that really are a repeaing from our ancestors.. We feel entitled to everything that we want. Instead of being grateful for the things we already have. Our families before us suffer to give us the things that were important and needed in our lives but today we teach our children to seek for materialistic things and not the things that are needed like Christ in their lives... The significance of loving......

  On that note I want to share what I learn in church today. I have not gone to church in a couple of sundays but, I do keep up with the sermons online. One of the beauties of today's technologies... The pastor spoke about the wounded warrior. This whole months series has been about warriors in the bible...Today was dedicated to the men ..
   He has made a statement that really hit home in many families today.. There is so many children growing up in a single family home and what we are not realizing is that we are training our kids to be single parents as well. Men are often not present in their childrens lives. Because of this the mother has no choice but to raise her child the best way she can... A man child needs to be raise by a man.. As strong as we are we are still not men. We can not teach a boy about the things that they go through simply because we have not gone through it.. Example a father can not teach his daugther about her monthly visitor and the need for pads or even how to use a tampon because he has not gone through this. He has no experience in it. He has no idea how any of this works with the exception of what he may hear. Men are important in a young man's life. Our hurts is spill over to our children... Their was a quote my pastor said that stuck to me. He said and I quote " Hurt people tend to hurt people".. It took me a while to understand it but I did. If you are carrying a hurt from someone in your past specially from your father you tend to past that hurt to your child. You have to learn to forgive that person for whatever reason they were not there and hope that your time with your child is well spent and remebered. Your teachings will be remembered by your child and will be used in the future generations to come.. Tell your kids you loved them, tell them that you are proud and tell them that you believe in them....
