Honor your children's commitment to you
By Rev. Wendy Lewis, ATP

During the month of February many people find time to focus on the love they feel in their relationships. Most however, look at romantic love between male/female relationships or other adult relationships. The relationships we find for ourselves while on earth are very important. They are usually ones that touch our heart, sometimes for a moment, sometimes for a lifetime. However, I would like to ask that you look at and honor the relationship between yourself and your children.

When you actually look beyond the issues of raising children and making sure they do the things that will allow them to become healthy adults, you see the persons they truly are. They are the persons that are an image of yourself, as their parent. If you find things about your child that irritate you, it is most likely that you have the similar traits, look closely in the mirror before casting stones. Remember that the children you have raised have learned their habits from you, or the people you have chosen to associate with. If you want your children to be different, you must make the effort to make yourself different.

The old adage of "do as I say, not as I do" probably didn't work with you, and doesn't work now. That didn't fool you as a child, so why would you think your children are any less creative and cleaver then you were. The whole point of raising children is to create them in your image. So when they are in your image, and are causing you problems, what is wrong with your image?

God forms the relationships between parents and children in heaven. Each child has the opportunity to choose who their parents are going to be. They are presented with several options and make a choice based on the things they want to learn during their lifetime. The child, who is born to you, has made the commitment to you, long before you even know that child. They have chosen to come to the earth on a personal mission and they have chosen you to entrust with their life and love during their formative years. If that is not love what is it? It is the most powerful commitment that you will ever have as a human on this earth. That child and God have entrusted you, a simple ordinary human, with a precious life. They are asking nothing in return except to honor it, love it and teach it.

Please take time during this month to tell your children how important they are to you. It should be done each day, and as each day flows into the next and you make sure that you have let each child know how special they are to you and how honored you are to have been chosen to be their parent, you will find that their little annoyances are only small and petty. You will soon find that the true meaning of being a parent is the love you feel and the commitment you have for that person, no matter how irritating they are on any given day.
