#013-Thoughts on Future

I am excited about the future because God has me in the palm of His hand.

Every day is important because it represents the past, the present and the future.

There is no better time than the present to reminisce about the past or plan for the future.

Everything we own will at some future date be totally useless to us.

#012-Thoughts on Education

Children who fail to make education their priority are actually sacrificing their future for the pleasure of the moment.

#009-Thoughts on Parents

Parents are responsible for teaching their children right from wrong. How? By doing the right things and correcting the wrong ones.

Good parents give their children what they want. Better parents give their children what they need. The best parents give their children what is best for them.

Great parents lower their expectations to allow their children the freedom to have fun while experiencing growth.

I've heard children say, "I hate you!" to their parents. I'm yet to hear a parent say that to a child.

There will be peace on earth when our thoughts, words and actions are pleasing to God.
