TEACH YOUR CHILDREN.......

We teach our children that 1 +1= 2 and Paris is the capital of France, yet we never teach our children who and what they are. We don't tell them that they are a unique creation of God. Distinct from all of Gods other creatures yet connected in His universal plan. We didn't explain to them, " No one looks like you or thinks like you. No one has your exact potential for health or love." No one experiences the world quite like you and perhaps this is what makes our human communication so difficult. We don't teach our children that they can do or be anything they choose to be provided they are willing to work for it. We don't teach them that at times they will feel as though they failed but in reality they just learned a way that did not work for them. Perhaps the next one will. We don't teach them to love and honor other creatures simply because they are also created by God and because they are also unique and perfect in their structure and design. We fail to teach our children that it's OK to disagree and that disagreements are part of life. All of Gods creatures perceive things in their unique way so differences will abound. We should teach our children not only to honor these differences but celebrate them as the world would be quite a boring and monotonous place if we all perceived it the same. Yes 1 + 1= 2 is important but isn't it equally important to understand the mathematical equation of what makes you you? We are a three part being of body, mind, and spirit. Failure to nurture any aspect of our being causes a loss of harmonious balance. To fully accept our uniqueness in Gods plan you need to become one with the power within you that gives you your Godliness, your purpose, your life. Perhaps if we also taught our children this, then the honor, love, and acceptance we so desperately need and desire would become available to us all
