As a teenager, a lot of times, I did not like how strict my parents were with me - the discipline, correction, teachings and all…

There were times I just wanted to live my life the way I wanted and the way my friends were living theirs. It was as if my life was boring but my parents never failed to chop off my wings each time the way they knew how 🙈.

As an adult today and a parent myself, I look back and thank God for the training I got from them. I’m grateful for the balance of love, attention, affection and discipline in addition to the godly virtues I was taught.

Most of what I do with my children today, I learnt from them, just tweaking it a bit to fit the today’s world.

Are you still under the care of your parents? I know the training may not be completely pleasant but you would be grateful that you listened. It will save you from a lot of pain, heart breaks, troubles and more!

I hope this helps someone?
