Encouragement to Parents

I was born and raised in the Holiness church and that was all I knew, But when I grew up, I decided I would never make my child (ren) go to church if they didn’t want to go.
I went to California and sowed my wild oats, going to parties and clubs drinking and trying to smoke (never could inhale/exhale properly) having what I thought was fun.
But guess what, after awhile, I still wanted something deeper - what I didn’t know- but after a time found myself back in church, praising and worshiping. A feeling of contentment became a part of my life.

I found that the scriptures (Proverbs 22:6) “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it”. So parents don’t give up on your children, the Word of God is true, they will return.
