Children Are Your Heritage.

No matter how you look at it, and from which angle it attracts you, a heritage simply means an endowment, inheritance, a possession that is immaterial in every respect. A heritage is equally seen as a gift, ones portion, birthright etc.
Psalm 127:3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalm 127:4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Psalm 127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
This is the holy bible’s description of children[babies] and every child has been given the divine ability to be a blessed, glorious, flourishing, honourable and praise worthy until he or she is proved to be the opposite. The baby in your womb ?, immediately he or she touches mother earth, the identity in every society immediately changes, The baby on you labs is so precious in the sight of God and man babies ,brings joy to the immediate and extended family, the baby is exemplary, priceless and praise worthy, a heritage of honour and happy is the couple that their quiver is full of them.
Against these backgrounds therefore, it is pertinent to remind whoever has the opportunity to be called a mother that she is viewed all over the world as the first gardener and the father the next gardner.So therefore mothers like a garners and children for sure the garden the mothers must plant good seeds in the garden, teaching tgh3eir children Godly virtues from tender age to serve as blue prints for their lives, let them be close to bible stories, often admiring and desiring to be like the heroes of faith .
Once you have planted the Godly and good-home-up bringing lessons,the nest step is you begin to water your plants in the in the heart of the child to maturity. This is the identity of successful mothers. All mother should seek the face of God in this initial journey in child training. It is what you plated and watered in your child that makes or mar him or her.
Thank God you have planted good seeds in the life of this child, won’t you water the seeds in order to see it grow with the child ?. One thing is to plant another is to give the water to the thirsty plant. You must not relent in your effort, go ahead, nurture your precious garden, not forgetting the importance of sound health , speaking to the child ,life building words and not life boring and breaking words. These positive word strengthen his or her being energizing the mind to pursue and accomplish noble roles in the life ahead.
Mothers should trim their tongues knowing fully well that negative words discourages, and drains the mental energy of the child dampening his or her momentum and blurring the vision.
You must weed your garden as a good gardener, or else weed alien weeds will choke off the good seeds . Like a dog, be watchful, be sober, be vigilant over your child’s behaviours as he or she grows up to maturity. Strive to be alert, correctly with motherly gestures every behavior picked up in the school, neighbourhood , etc
Next, guard the good work you have done in the garden, if any,. This is done through fervent prayers. There are a lot of rotten gardens around, fence your children round, to prevent the rottenness of the other un kept gardens from reaching them. Simply keep your children away from the rotten children.
Having done all, prune the garden for it is not every plant that grows in it that is good for food. Train up the child in the way he or she should go even when he or she is old, they will never depart from the good training. It is stored in their brains and at the appropriate time in their lives good training will spring up.
Untrained cum undisciplined children bring shame to the family. Reward for good deeds in the family, punishment for bad behaviours, leaving the rod to play it’s role, should be followed strictly in child training. Like the endowments which they are, they become our immaterial possessions in deed, priceless, blessed and flourishing beside us. The children are from God, like the garden of Eden which He left to the care of Adam and Eve, God has given us gardens called children and we are all gardeners called parents.
