WELCOME TO MY WORLD...I LOVE IT.

A priceless Story...it really pays to spend time with your family

My wife was telling me a story about a wonderful mother who didn't have much financially.  Okay...she was poor!  Her husband walked out and left her and her children to take care of themselves.  She went through the constant struggles of finding food/place to live for her 4 children.  Regardless of her financial situation, she made sure she was home for her children. She worked full-time where her kids went to school and when school was out she picked them up to take care of them.  The mother always made sure her children did their homework, were fed, spent family time together, and had all of their needs met (even when they were homeless). 

Get this....!  Even though she didn't have a lot of money, a nice car, a fancy house, ravishing clothes, suburban living, etc.  Her daughter received a FULL SCHOLARSHIP from numerous schools throughout the United States.  We aren't talking about no-name Universities either.  She has received a full Scholorship from University of Chicago, William and Mary, etc. 

We live in a world where our values are upside down.  Our kids don't need money, fancy cars, ravishing living, etc.  WHAT THEY NEED IS JUST OUR TIME! 

Spending time wtih your child....priceless!

Is raising a boy a dads job?

It has shown in almost every statistic that the best tool in raising your boy (children in general) is through a good moral, faithful and loving dad.  Mothers have been raising children all by themselves for too long.  It has shown over the last couple of decades how the loss of a good daddy in a boy will increase his chances to a struggling life.   Its not a mothers job to raise her children alone (unless she has to).  It's both parents job regardless if they are married, seperated or friends.  As I have mentioned in my other blogs.  The best gift for my children is showing them how much I love them and their mother through being there for them. 

Being a father with only boys.  I have found that a mother need to take a step back after the childs age of 2 or 3 for the daddy.  Children are so smart at an early age.  Daddy's need to step in as the primary caregiver when he see his son starting to become more deviant.  Boys will respond to an active and loving daddy much quicker then he would his mother.  Ofcourse, nothing can replace the love of a mother.  However, a Dads love is priceless.  If you don't believe me look up family statistics.  Over  94% of black males and 75% of all males in jail were raised only by mom.  

It's not mommies job to be the daddy in your boys life.  Its time for men to be what God created them to be..... His Image!  

Protect your children because the world will not

When will this madness stop?  Every time I turn on the news I hear about another child being tortured, abused, killed or neglected.  My heart breaks every day because Children are so innoscent.  Its starting to seem as if some people bring children into this world to abuse them.  What's worst is when they are treated badly by their parents.  Who can they cry out to.  We live in a world that has its values and morals switched upside down.  The only protection for our children is our love for them.  As a father, It starts with being a devoted Daddy., Husband and Servant to my  family.

Protect your children because the world will not. It may take a villag to raise our children but, it starts with your house.  In my house, we will serve the Lord.  God made me in his image.  I will shower my children wth the same Love that God gave me in creating me.  Together we can be the village that raised our children.
