Drop the Baggage!

Thursday January 7, 2021.

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,….

Hebrews 12: 1 (NASB)

There is no perfect home anywhere. I strongly doubt that there is! What makes me so sure? Well, my answer to that is simple; there are no perfect humans! So, if there are no perfect humans, then how can there be a perfect home and a perfect parenting?

However, we must be careful not to carry any baggage from our childhood into our adulthood, and allow it to define the kind of relationship we have with our children.

If we fail to drop the baggage we picked up from our childhood, we run the risk of focusing on just some aspects of the development of our children, ignoring other important aspects. We may also become very physically and emotionally stressed because we are bottling up our emotions due to fear not to act in a certain way just like our parents.

Bottom line is, you have to unpack all those baggages from your childhood. If you are going  parent right, you have to travel light. Just be yourself!

Think & Act: If you are going to parent right, you have to travel light.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, let my past experiences not destroy my children and their future.
Amen!
