GARDEN GROWING


Dear One,
My child, My child, how does your garden grow?
Does your garden try to grow with you tramping all over it, withholding water from it, scorching it with heat of anger?
Does it grow with your tender care, regular watering, a perfect emotional atmosphere and regular fertilizer?
It's the same with children, they grow with gentle embraces and loving words and actions, regular words of encouragement, consistent words of guidance, wise protection and healthy nutrition.
Many times parents raise their children with emotional detachment, withholding kindness. Often they raise children with anger and meanness. Many times they raise children with harsh punishment instead of wise guidance.
Eventually you reap what you sow in your child's life.
Parent, parent, how does your garden grow? What are you producing for the future for your children and for your own future?
Sow good seeds and tend the children in your garden of life with love, wise guidance, gentleness and joy. Then you will chart a future of happiness for you and your children.
My child, My child, how does your garden grow?
Love, God
Proverbs 17:6; Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4
