Raising a Family

Raising Children

Children need to play, have fun and grow up in a safe place they can trust. They also need guidance to grow strong and wise. Parents need to prepare their youth for life. The most important thing anyone can give a child is time. Positive time helps children learn about order, acceptance & understand their importance. Just knowing someone will listen to them is important. Instill in them a spiritual belief and teach children to pray. They need to learn the importance of respect, and have the feeling of belonging to something bigger than themselves. In today's world it is easy for children to go astray, so parents need to work to provide positive alternatives for them, teach them family heritage, encourage education, encourage sports, offer encouragement & guidance; but mostly serve as a strong role model of what they can become as a responsible adult.  

Role of the Mother

The cycle of life for the woman begins as the baby, girl, woman, wife, mother and grandmother. Woman has been blessed by nature to reproduce life, the most sacred of all things. Because of this gift, all men should treat women with dignity and respect. With the gift of reproduction, the Creator gave women the responsibility for bringing up and protecting the new life they bring into the world. Life is sacred, the woman is the foundation of the family and she needs help to create a home atmosphere of respect, security and harmony. A mother knows that she is the one  who must model compassion, love and understanding for her family to succeed. Her job is one of endless toil from morning to night. Mothers need to pray everyday for guidance and assistance to to walk with dignity and spirituality in order to nurture her family providing food, learning, comfort and love so her husband and children can fulfill the purpose of their lives. She must walk her road with honor and dedication, so that her family and others can see that it can be done & will follow. A mother’s work is truly never done as she is the cog in each family members wheels.
