CHRISTIAN WRITER'S BLOG CHAIN - NURTURE

Hello My Friend and Welcome.

We celebrated Mother's Day this past weekend and I'm sure many of us heard a sermon on Mothers. I came across this set of Beatitudes and, in the spirit of our nuturing mothers...and fathers, I thought I'd share it today.

Beatitudes for Parents
Blessed are those who make peace with spilled milk and with mud, for such is the kingdom of childhood.
Blessed are those who do not compare their child with others, for unto each is the rhythm of growth.
Blessed are those who have learned laughter, for it is the music of a child's world.
Blessed are those who understand the goodness of time, for they make it not a sword that kills growth but a shield to protect.
Blessed are those who can say no without anger, for the security of firm decsion comforts a child.
Blessed is the gift of consistency, for it eases a child's heart. 
Blessed are the teachable, for knowledge yields understanding, and understanding brings love.
Blessed are those, who in the midst of the unpromising mundane, offer love, for they bestow the greatest of gifts to eath other, to their children, and in an ever-widening circle, to their fellow man.
Until the next time, we wish you Peace and Blessings.
