Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
Psalm 23: 4 (NLT)
Life is not easy! Everyone who is old enough to know this fact knows it! Hence, trying to make life easy for our children is simply putting our children in a bubble of some sort.
Making life easy for our children is not part of our duty. Yes you read right! Infact, it is a trap and many parents sadly fall into this trap.
Do not exempt your children from chores.
Do not meet their every demand.
Do not grant their every request.
Someone once said smooth seas do not make experienced sailors! Our children may not learn to take responsibility if we provide everything for them, they may never develop self belief if we do everything for them.
Allow them walk through the valley of the shadow of death, only provide comfort.
Think & Act: Making life easy for our children is not part of our duty.
Prayer: In the name of Jesus, I receive grace to raise responsible children. Amen!
