Kids
need good parents, friends we choose for ourselves, your families you
get anyway.
I'm
lucky I had great parents. Faith does help, but kids get bigger and
decide for themselves if their parents were talking rubbish or were
worth listening too.
Kids travel and find their own way home to their
faith and their families. Elastic is very important in relationships
and faith. If you try to keep things set in stone then you will be in
for a fall. Nothing is set in stone, friendships change and alter and
our own understandings change and alter.
Have
a bit of elastic in your life is my best advice. You are not in an
army and getting up at 5am and doing all the marching and so forth.
Yes have discipline and rules, but be aware IF you force somebody to
do something when they have the chance to rebel then they will. You
cannot
chain anybody to you or your faith, brainwashing is a bad idea,
listen to the Genesis song Jesus we know him.......
So
you bind your family and friends and faith to you by cobwebs of love
and nothing stronger than cobwebs of love. Love should be like that
its a cobweb of love, also be happy to have a Prodigal Son in your
life, happy because you will always welcome them back. If you're
lucky you'll never have any Prodigal sons
in
your life but I already tell my kids I'll always love them and they
can always come home, leave your doors open with cobwebs of love
waiting there
