Parent

The trouble

with parents

is that

by the time

they are experienced,

they are unemployed.

We are the people our parents warned us about.

"The incomparable stupidity of life
teaches us to love our parents;
divine philosophy teaches us to forgive them." ~ Baron Brede de Montesquieu

Having a child does not make one a parent any more than owning a guitar makes you a musician.

God's world is evolving faster and faster and as each generation produces more knowledge the

parents of the next generation are always one step behind.

The telephone of 100 years ago was connected by wires to those parts of the world

that could be reached, today's generation is texting messages around the world faster

than they can get up the courage to ask their parents about the facts of life.

Stuck between the generation that invented Mother's Day and Father's Day and a generation

that may clone its next progeny is a difficult conundrum for the current generation.

The solution to finding the lost generation is to teach love, the will of a Higher Power.

The will of a Higher Power has transcended every generation since the beginning of time.

A baby understands love and the warmth of a parents caress before they ever know their first word.

Be kind, every generation has reaped the benefits of kindliness.

Be loving, understand that race, creed and national origin will be issues for many a generation to come,

and if they know kindness and love the issues will be easier to resolve.

Share the technology, the education, the love and become a parent to the world.

"The wise man must remember
that while he is a descendant of the past,
he is a parent of the future.” ~ Herbert Spencer

Our differences should be in how we can resolve to overcome a problem, not in how we see each other.

Three heads can solve a problem better than one, even if the heads are black, white and yellow.

"The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth.
To be a conscious parent,
and really look to that little being's mental and physical health,
is a responsibility which most of us, including me,
avoid most of the time because it's too hard." ~ John Lennon

Hard is as hard as you make it.

Fear is a lack of knowledge.

Sometimes it is hard to love the ignorant and the rebellious, but children need to be shown

that love and learning can make fear go away.

Parent or child, there is no need to wait for one special day a year to celebrate the love for one another.

Live simply, love generously, care deeply, speak kindly and trust in our Creator who loves us.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
