Nurture (5 of 6)
Series: Sound Bites for Parents
Joey Rodgers
Ephesians 6:4
As I was reading this week, I came across a humorous article of things no parent wants to hear from their child:
- If you hear the toilet flush and the words ''uhoh'' - it's already too late.
- If you use a waterbed as home plate while wearing cleats it doesn't leak - it explodes. FYI - a king-size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4'' deep.
- No matter how much Jell-O you put in a swimming pool you still can't walk on water. Pool filters don't like Jell-O.
- Cats don't like to be wrapped in duct tape.
- The spin cycle on the washer doesn't make earth worms dizzy. It will, however, make cats dizzy - and cats throw up 2x their body weight when dizzy.
- If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling fan, the motor isn't strong enough to rotate a 42 lb. boy wearing underoos and a superman cape. It's however, strong enough to spread paint on all (4) walls of a 20 x 20 ft. room
This AM I want to pick up where we left off 2 weeks ago. If you've not been here, we're in a parenting/grandparenting series based on Pr. 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.
train up refers to the roof of the mouth - more specifically, it refers to a Hebrew mid-wife who after birth would dip her fingers in a paste made of honey/dates and rub it on the gums of the newborn to initiate the baby's feeding instinct.
Solomon was teaching us that in training up a child, our objective is to create a sense of thirst in our children for right things - more specifically - for the things of God.
Too many parents miss this truth b/c they're too concerned w/ what their kids might accomplish than who they are becoming. But the priority of Scripture isn't to raise kids who might be successful in the eyes of the world, but kids who know God and are becoming just like Jesus.
You shall love the Lord your God w/ all your heart, mi ...
