Children - The "Whole" of Children



Children – The "WHOLE" of Children

"Children are a gift from God; they are his reward." Psalm 127:3 tlb


There is nothing so amazing,
as the birth of a child,
a true gift from God,
that should keep you with smiles.

If you're a mother you know
how precious your child is to you,
bone of your bone, flesh or your flesh,
within you this miracle grew.

If you're a father you know,
how precious your child is to you,
You would not hesitate to protect him,
because it's your job, it's what you do.

As your child grows,
there is so much to do,
books to read, songs to sing,
teeth to brush, ties on shoes.

Please remember when raising a child,
to look at "The Whole Child,"
instead of just one piece of their insides,
for one hundred percent of them need to be styled.

The best gift you can give,
which will last them all their days,
is to find that you love them wholly,
and that you will always be there to praise.

We all have issues, or "baggage" as they say,
but we never want our parents to look the other way.
So grab your child and hold him tight,
look into his eyes and tell him all will be alright.

Children will develop,
and grow from deep inside,
if their parents believes in their abilities,
and be their life-long friend and guide.

No one will be perfect,
your child might even fail,
but who really cares,
as long as you're at the end of the trail.

Looking at the Whole Child
is something that's hard to do,
for success at one thing
is reliant on another, too.

As we leave our childhood,
it's so easy to complain of our past,
what should have been done,
how our fate was cast.

So when you have your child,
remember to make their lives great,
by looking at their individual goals,
never comparing to your childhood or hate.

Remember that you cast the fate,
what you do makes the difference,
on whether your child will be "whole,"
or whether he will be living perseverance.

We all do our best,
in bringing our kids up,
but know God is there
when we hiccup.

I know a few great friends,
who look at the "whole" of a child,
and from them I have learned
how to redefine and how to be mild.

Bringing up a "whole" child
is more than experiencing life,
it's about talking, sharing, mentoring,
and education, and understanding strife.

Are you a "whole" child?
Have you asked yourself that?
well it is never too late,
no matter where you're at.
