One of the very first things we were probably taught as children is called the Golden Rule. We all can recite these words: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Often we learn this very early, as a result of negative experiences. For instance, if you do not want to get …
What is passion? It is defined as intense feeling or emotion. It can be explained as a strong desire or enthusiasm for something. It is a positive character trait that is recognized and respected by others. Where can passion be seen? A child with a passion for learning will complete his homework and study hard. …
In times past, all that was necessary to complete a contract was a handshake. The reputation people had in keeping their word directly related to their dependability. It was taken for granted that if you could not follow through on what you promise, how could anyone ever depend on you? By learning to keep our …
Many of today’s young people have never considered the concept of modesty. It is a word from bygone years, when our world was simpler and more innocent. Some people today think that modesty only refers to the covering up of the body, but there is really so much more to it. Consider these aspects of …
Loyalty is one of those old-fashioned words we don’t hear very often and don’t use very often. It carries with it an idea of allegiance and faithfulness to a person. That person sometimes might be an authority figure, or it may be an equal. The most important one we must be loyal to is the …
Every area of life has room for excellence, but it takes a desire to improve beyond what has already been accomplished. It does not take any excellence to be exactly like everyone else. Sometimes it is not necessary to even be excellent, to impress everyone else. No matter how good things seem to us, they …
“I want it now!” This cry is heard regularly in stores, schools, and homes throughout the world. Most people want whatever they want right now, rather than being willing to wait for it. The fast food industry thrives because people would rather pay more to have dinner in 3-5 minutes than take 45 minutes to …
The concept of justice is one that parents may find difficult to explain to their children. Very young ones have a hard time accepting the fact that they don’t always get what they want. They feel like justice is whatever feels good to them at the time! The older a child grows, however, and the …
Learning to ride a bicycle is a hard task. Do you remember taking on the struggle? You knew that inevitably, eventually, you would learn to ride, but there were lots of lessons to learn the hard way until you completely learned how to operate your bicycle. Every time you started to ride down the sidewalk, …
Being thankful and showing it on the outside is a quality that we must teach to our children if we want them to live joyful lives. Joyfulness and thankfulness go hand-in-hand; you will rarely see one without the other. Thankfulness is perhaps most important because God expects His children to be thankful. It is not …
Building a tree house sounds like fun until you actually have to do it. Perhaps you have had it in your mind—or your children have had it in their minds—to build a fort that they can call their own. You could always buy one that is pre-built, but you want the challenge of building one …
When faced with a nearly impossible situation, a common initial reaction is often one of a selfish nature. “I have to figure this out for myself,” most people say as they begin their journey for a solution. As time marches on, they realize that “figuring it out for myself” has gotten them nowhere. They could …
It is difficult to understand and discuss selflessness because it is such a foreign concept. Selflessness goes against our very nature—each of us is inherently selfish and concerned about number one from day one! However, the more we learn about the Lord Jesus, the better we can begin to grasp what selflessness involves. He’s the …
Teaching our children to be responsible may seem to be a faraway goal, out of our reach, and totally unrealistic. Yes, they are children, and it will be a long time before they are fully responsible and trustworthy. However, our children are learning every moment! If we, as parents, start with the small things that …
