"Please Stand!"

Back straight! Head held high! Please repeat after me;

"I was born for Greatness! If I am to Be, What I want to Be,  It is up to ME!!!"

For the last few years of my teaching career I instructed my students to stand and recite that affirmation with me.  I meant every word because I know it to be true.  (Incidentally it was very affective.)

Do not call your children names or re-iterate that old lie; "You ain't s***! Ain't nevah gon be s***, 'cause yo' daddy ain't S***!"

Do not pour your negativity on that child.  Don't spew your venomous lies and hatred on your progeny.  GOD gifted you with those children for His own purpose.  You have no right to malign and curse them because you made a mistake.  Because you were undisciplined or promiscuous.

I do believe GOD gives us the opportunity to fix what ever was or is wrong in our lives through our children.
If you were treated cruelly and mistreated, treat that child, treat All children, the way you wished you had been treated.  If you grew up hearing nothing but lies, be sure you are a "truth-teller".

If you don't like bullies, kick their a**.  Kick their a** with GOD's Gospel Truth.  Are you mad, stewing, perplexed because you think they got away with murder.  Tell GOD!  Tell GOD how you really feel about it.   Ask Him to lead and guide you.  Ask Him to put the WORDS in your mouth, the meditation in your heart.

Don't let the devil win children!  Stand up for what is right!  Help the "helpless"!  Help those that don't have a voice.  Protect our children from the vermin that would destroy them.
