We would not be surprised if the apostle Paul took a whole chapter, or even an entire epistle, to outline the responsibilities of parents. Instead, he summarized all of parenting in a single verse, and he was able to do so because the task is so highly defined. “Bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.”

"Third Grade"
 
 
While my third-grade class was completing a writing exercise, one of the students asked me how to spell "piranha."
 
I told him I was unsure.
To my delight, he went to the dictionary to solve his problem.
 
That's when I overheard another pupil say to him, "Why bother to look it up? She doesn't know how to spell it anyway."
 
 
"Kids' Thoughts On Love And Marriage"
 
 
• "If falling in love is anything like learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long."
- Glenn, age 7

• "Love is like an avalanche where you have to run for your life."
-John, age 9
• "I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful."
- Manuel, age 8
• "No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are so popular."
- Mae, age 9
• "Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too."
- Greg, age 8
• "Once I'm done with kindergarten, I'm going to find me a wife."
- Tom, age 5
• "On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date."
- Mike, age 10
• "I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen when Dinosaurs is on television."
- Jill, age 6
• "One of the people has freckles, and so he finds somebody else who has freckles too."
- Andrew, age 6
• "My mother says to look for a man who is kind. That's what I'll do. I'll find a man who is kinda tall and kinda handsome."
- Carolyn, age 8
• "It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I'm just a kid. I don't need that kind of trouble."
- Kenny, age 7
• "One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills."

• "Love is foolish... but I still might try it sometime."

"Pie Manners"
 
In a country home that seldom had guests, the young son was eager to help his mother after his father appeared with two dinner guests from the office.
 
When the dinner was nearly over, the boy went to the kitchen and proudly carried in the first piece of apple pie, giving it to his father, who passed it to a guest. The boy came in with a second piece of pie and again watched his father give it to a guest.
 
This was too much for the boy, who said, "It's no use, Dad. The pieces are all the same size."
 
Have a Blessed Day
