This is from the same book!

This is from the same book I just been telling you about, its a poem about how Mums can care for they children, but not live their lives,througth it was good and had to share it with you all......

I gave you life, but I cannot live it for you.
I can teach you things, but I cannot you make learn.
I can give you directions, but I cannot always be there to lead you.
I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.
I can take you to church, but cannot make you believe.
I can teach you right from wrong, but I cannot always decide for you.
I can buy you beautiful colthes, but cannot make you lovely inside.
I can offer you advice, but cannot accept it for you.
I can give you love, but cannot force it upon you.
I can teach you to be a friend, but cannot make you one.
I can teach you to share, bu cannot make you unselfish.
I can teach you to respect, but can't force to to show honour.
I can advice you about friends, but can't choose them for you.
I teach you about sex, but can't make you pure.
I can tell you the facts of life, but I can't build your repution.
I can tell you about drink, but I can't say NO for you.
I can comfort you in your pain, but I cannot make you better.
I can warn you of drugs, but can;t prefent you from using them.
I can tell you about lofty goal, but can't achieve them for you.
I can teach you kindness, but I can't force you to be graciuos.
I can warn you about sins, but I cannot make you walk with GOD.
I can teach you about JESUS, but cannot make HIM your savouir.
I can teach you to Obey, but I cannot make Jesus Your Lord.
I can tell you how to live, but I can't give you Eternal Life.


This is so true of all Mums and Dads of Children everywhere. It rang true to me how I can tell Tony and Donna about how I would like them to behavouir, but not make them do it.

God Bless You all who are Parents.

About a book I have read.

Just been reading a book, a true story of a girl in England who was suffering badly with M.E., her and her family and friends were all Christians. Her Mum wrote the book about how the suffering of her Daughter tested her faith and that of the rest of the family, all thougth the book I saw thougth their suffering they still kept the faith in the Lord to help them cope with the girl illness, at first they prayed for her healing, she did improve for a bit, then spilt back to being ill, at times she even found it hard even to get out of bed or wash herself, then they prayed to God that he would give her and them the strength to cope with her suffering illness. It made me think 1) How terrible for the Girl and her family 2) How great it was that they kept their faith in the Lord 3) I felt so thankfull to the Lord that my 2 are so healthy 4) Thankfull to the Lord that I'm in good health. Praise the Lord!!! Through her illness the girl would write things down to help herself. Here is one of the things she Wrote, I wish these word for all my Family and Friends.........





May the peace of God run in and thro' you

Like gentle streams flowing over you

Quieting all fears

Quieting all worries

Releasing the tears

Drowning the torment

May God's peace dwell inside you

Giving inner reassurance to guide you.





AMEN!!!!!!
