Faithfulness

Good evening Mama's and Papa's little Bloggers.

As a parent do you ever get other parents or School teachers telling you about the way you parent your child is wrong, I am sure some of you may have. Or maybe they may not tell you directly to your face but may use ques to help you to parent your child better. Often as a parent our failure to raise a child in the correct way has sometimes got something to do with our own upbringing or our unfaithfulness. When a parent or two parents dedicate their children in church the Pastor often ask them "do you promise to raise your children in a loving environment and in a Godly manner". Often these promises are broken because as soon as the parent leaves the church they don't come back to the church or read the bible or make any attempt to buy books about their faith and teach the child.

Another point I would like to make is 'comparison' there are often people that like to compare their children often other parent's children and berate how faithful they are. But if you look at the life of some people they are faithful because 'they choose a lifestyle that is easy going for example you get some well behave children that always ask questions in class and sometimes they are flagged up as a nuisance, just because they have an enquiring mind?. And then you get well behave children that don't ask much questions in class so they immediately flagges up as well behaved. The first child is well behaved but may have an enquiring mind because he/she is a little more intelligent.

Many Children paths are often blighted by poverty, war, famine, floods, homelessness and disability. There are some people who have no compassion so often will overlook these children because of their past. Even as they get older sometimes their past often hinders them and people sometimes label them as being unfaithful or come out with negative statements.

As a young child growing up I didn't ask much questions even as a youth and my questioning and inquiring mind didn't really kick in until my late 40's, so often I get labelled unfaithful because my path is different to alot of christians, but then I am a female with a disability.

Often people who think they are so faithful often have this obsession they should be the ones to get promoted first and be rehoused in a nice home, but when you look at their path often you will see stability but not nothing that really challenges you or encourages you to such an extent because they have always had it easy; look at the way they always gather people around them?.

When you are teaching your children about faithfulness teach them no matter what they Go through as a child there will always be someone who is willing to help them no matter what they fail in. Teach them that failure is not a weakness but a strength because it gives you the opportunity to try again and do better. Unfaithfulness is when you know the truth but you are not willing to acknowledge it so you leave the right path to follow the wrong path.
