Stay On The Course

 The Summer Break is now behind us, and our children are about to chart a new course in their lives. They may be attending a new school, or they may be entering a new grade, or they may still have a few more years of studies in subjects that they had chosen a few years ago.

Whatever it may be, some exciting times are ahead of them. Of course, this is not to say that sadness, tears, disappointment, and fear are not a block ahead of them.

Therefore, whatever is ahead for our children, we should not allow them to move away from the "good" track that they are running on. If Christians and their school peers are intentionally or unintentionally trying to "out" their light, we need to encourage them to stay on the Christian course.

If they were planning to be more involved in sporting activities, but their best friends do not want to be involved in these activities, they may become a little discouraged and decide to "drop" this plan. If this is the case, we should encourage them to stay on their planned course.

Whatever it may be, whatever they are faced with, we need to be there to encourage them to stay on the course.

Imagine standing in freshly fallen snow for ten minutes at an intersection with children, and one or two of them are in a stroller! How much do you like that? True, one or two drivers can miss average the gap, but come on, every time that the traffic light changes? Pedestrians are not beggars at the side of the road, asking drivers to show them mercy by allowing them to get to the other sid...
