For family happy
Biblical Instruction for Parents and kid
Ephesians 5: 22~28
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.
When I filmed in Tanzania, I saw a slogan: "Early marriage is abandon of your dream. It's a concise but firm message to under 20 youth. Around 20 years old, we became adults. Some are high school students, others at university, and the rest may start to work for a living. Unfortunately, some people lost their chance to go to secondary or high school. Generally, sexual curiosity bursts into. It is natural a man likes women. Some guys are attracted to girls, and a woman also can choose her favorite man. It is desirable for a person as well in the community. One man meets a woman and then makes a union. Making a family is a blessing and a mature processing. They are on track and good models.
But there exists a un recommendable union. Same-sex marriage between gay and lesbian couples. And also, there are undesirable marriages by force, by rape, by what is sold to wealthy families.
Ephesians 5:30~33
30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Love is so precious.
I married my lovely elementary classmate wife when I was 29 years old.
We both graduated from universities beginning work in society, her age 24 and me 27.
We got a job to be independent from my parents and rent a small house.
We loved each other, but having a baby is not easy.
My first son was born eight years after our marriage, and my second daughter, we had to wait 14 years past the wedding. We must prepare the money for raising kids, while being mature as parents, moms and daddy. Becoming parents means giving their love, devotion, and self-sacrifice to children. Baby and kids need special care.
They cry out when they are hungry, sick, or want something. Sometimes they fall down.
Hurt, broken, meet an emergency.
30 ~ 4o thy Middle age couples have a significant burden to support their old parents and their child. If the team has no respect, love, reliability, or royalty, how could they sustain
their family.
In a married couple, husband and wife have to love each other, share hardness deeply, and mature themselves to make the family happy.
What If you suddenly become wealthy, get a lottery, or discover gold?
Do not cheat on Your spouse or make a second wife or another husband.
When it comes to depending on each other, I am so sad about a single mom and single father family. I comfort and encourage you.
How painful do parents' role, without spouse help.
But God knows your difficulties, so Jesus Christ be your bridegroom and consoler.
Your sacrifice to your child and devotion to God will be rewarded by heavenly blessing when you endure that.
I want to continue to read the bible related to parents and children.
Ephesians 6:1~4
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.4 Fathers,do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
When I cover, the northern part of Keya is a desolate desert area.
Elementary school students get together early in the morning to go to school far away.
They are grouping ten members or more to avoid wild animals attacking from hyenas or wild dogs. The village people live in a tent.
Within only one tent, A family resides, and when they are cooking, it's hard to open their eyes cause of the Stinging smoke. They also have difficulty getting water—horrible living conditions.
But, parents want their children to study hard, so they pray to help from outside and to gather money for school lunch programs. The students not only study hard but also play and exercise their best after lunch during the daylight.
Surprisingly, they all passed the exam well compared to the big city Nairobi school.
Contrary, When I went to Tanzania karatu, many students had to spend their time bringing water. It takes 1 hour 2 hours from home. Some students fail to enter middle and high school exam, cause of needing more time to study.
Parents must give an opportunity to study their child for preparing future.
Give them food, clothes, love, and affection. Children must honor and respect their parents.
Parents do not become addicted to alcohol, gambling, or sexual indulgence.
They are irresponsible in their family.
Best seller Christian author Max Lucado say
God created marriage. No government subcommittee envisioned it. No social organization developed it. Marriage was conceived and born in the mind of God.
I want our home to be filled with holy God's grace.
I pray that your family love each other, respect, honor, and encourage you,
so I hope your family will be God’s blessing way to your neighbor. Amen.
