A Child Needs
We are products of our environment, it is said,
And, from birth through life, we are variously led.
From infancy to childhood, others are in charge.
When you are little, others seem rather large.
A child needs benevolent and respectful care
As well as being taught to love and play fair.
If a child is taught to respect God and others,
He will love himself and, likewise, his brothers.
Whether our childhood was nurturing or not
Comes the time when we must deal with our lot.
The decisions we make will color our future
And show what we're made of, as we mature.
If victory is to be won, it's upon God we trust.
Knowing, loving, and 'serving Him well' we must.
Getting through life is hard enough, we all know.
Traveling with the Lord is the only sure way to go.
Guide the little ones in the ways of the Lord
So they, too, will praise Him and, to Him, accord
All Honor, All Glory, and All Adoration;
Hearts full of joy and expectation
Toward the day of eternal jubilation
And infinite exaltation.

Love yourself enough to let God love you,

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:
( Psalm 78:3-5 )(KJV) |
