Topic: Teaching Children

You can't live a child's life for him or her even when you want to. Even when you intervene in a child's life and you shield the child from all perceived harm, the child still lives in the same dangerous world you live in. When you raise children or you are a teaching adult in their lives, teach them. Teach them the value of hard work. Teach children that often, hard work does not pay off until a long time into the future. Teach children the value of joy in work rather than expecting joy to come from work. Teach children to give without expecting anything in return. Teach children to live in joy and peace even when they do not get what they want. Teach children patience. Teach them joy in poverty. Teach them poverty is no excuse to not feel the presence of Jesus in their heart. Teach them poverty is no excuse to want what they cannot have. Teach them poverty in spirit is the worst poverty. Teach them that being rich in spirit and life is the pinnacle of success. Teach children that success is not a matter of fame or fortune but that success is finding joy amidst the ruble, pain, and suffering of life. Teach children a heart full of hope is the greatest wealth of life.
