“CELEBRATE NATIONAL CHILDREN’S DAY”

“Sunday, March 3, 2013”  

I am finding the encouragement to celebrate the National Children’s Day in our local paper, THE NORTHLAND AGE, Tuesday, February 26, 2013.

“The parenting job never came with a manual,” I am reading there also.

I looked up The Collins Concise Dictionary and learned that a manual is a book, a book especially of instructions or information.

And there is a book of Instructions for the parenting job. Parents have duties. Children must be corrected and children must be instructed.

The manual for the parenting job is the Bible. But the Bible is also the book of instructions for the parents.

Can I close with what Martyn Lloyd – Jones said:

“A MAN WHO DOES NOT LIVE A LIFE OF OBEDIENCE HIMSELF SOON CEASES TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT HIS OWN CHILDREN SHOULD OBEY HIM.”
