Can You Be Taught?

Have you ever heard about blind spots? If you have ever driven in a car you know that cars have blind spots where you just can't see it from the drivers seat. You can't always tell if there is potential danger in changing lanes while you are driving. But maybe some one else riding along can look for you and see those things and let you know of potential danger. Well it is the same in our personal and spirital lives. We have blind spots. Things we don't see until someone lets us know the danger. In my personal and spiritual life I have been blessed with people who love me enough to show me some of these spots i need to look at so i can move forward. In Proverbs 27 the bible talks about Iron Sharpening Iron and so one man sharpens another. A good friend doesn't just accept us as we are but the help us move on to being a better person by sharpening us. So next time someone tries to tell you that you need to see this or change that in your personal or spiritual life consider maybe it could be a blind spot and listen.

Parents

As a mother of 3 (young adults now) I have had the privilege of teaching some of my kids life lessons but only to find out that in teaching them God is teaching me. I have learned that even though as parents we may want them to be perfect but we aren't perfect so how can we teach something we can't achieve ourselves. I am not saying we shouldn't try to help them but we shouldn't be surprised to find our expectations not always being met. One thing I have learned and I pray if you are reading this that you will learn this also, If your kids know you love them unconditionally, your kids know God loves them even more than you do and following Him is the only way to have a life everlasting then the rest of it can work itself out. Being a parent is hard work and beating ourselves up is easy but if you have accomplished the above 3 things You have supplied them with a Hope of a future no matter what happens here on earth. God Bless and DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR KIDS OR YOURSELF!
