Who will you leave behind when you’re gone? We can not choose who our family is. We need to be thankful for the ability to choose who our friends are. Surround your family with like-minded individuals of good character traits. “There is strength in numbers”. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Find where your weaknesses fall and bring ones who have it in strength, into your fold. It does take a village to raise a child. We must distance ourselves from those among us that wish to bring us down. Do not look ill upon these people. Put them in the light of understanding and kindness. Your family will benefit to learn of their short comings. Our current governmental administration has surrounded itself with individuals wan tent to destroy our family strengths. Our United States Labor Department has funded Democratic Socialists of America’s Honorary Chairperson Dolores Huerta in advertisements to monger hate. I am offended. I pray for America’s survival of this progressive take over of our nation.

“We must pass the law before we know what’s in it.” Our nation’s administrators have no accountability. The buck starts and stops with us. We as a nation must teach our children to the knowledge of accountability. If you have one child, you know who broke the lamp. When you have more than one, you know they didn’t play ball outside. Work together, to clean up the mess while discussing what happened. Our children doing household chores learn cooperation, dependability, and self-reliance. Praise goes a lot farther than any allowance can. We do not need to reward our children for doing their part. Sitting down to eat meals together, going for a walk, doing homework with our children and turning off the techs brings us closer together as a family. You are but one family among the whole. We need to be able to rely on one another. Help to bring your family up not down.

Parents are our children’s first teachers. Human beings derive who we are from our beginnings. Content of ones character passes on to our children. Remember, “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree”? First sight teaches emotional response from facial expressions. Hearing tone of voice teaches emotional response. Sense of touch teaches emotional response. Body language teaches emotional response. An angry face, looming voice and clenched fists warn us.
I’m quite thankful no one is perfect. What a boring and predictable world we would live in if we were. Granted, everyone has a bad day. We, as our children’s first teachers, have to aid our children to handle all of life’s daily ups and downs.
Where to begin? We must begin with ourselves. Content of ones character. Who we are touches everyone we come across through out our lives. You will not be friends with everyone and everyone will not be a friend with you. People will come into and out of our lives. Start with respect. Respect for each other and ourselves. Put your feet in the other person’s shoes. How does it feel? Is it too tight? Do you get a blister? Is it too loose, flopping as you go? How do you want others to remember you?
