I am awake and will be on the road very early today. It will be somewhat of a long day for me. I am enjoying a large cup of Door County Chocolate Cherry Coffee as I write.
Every parent knows or should know that when a child begins to walk it isn't very long at all before those little legs are running at full speed. At the same time the child really starts developing opinions and ideas. When they see something that they want to experience, their little feet accelerate and their decision to explore goes into motion. Unfortunately they haven't developed the sense to know what is harmful or not. They also try to eat everything and many a child has accidentally poisoned their little self.
My point is this. Immediately after the walking begins more education needs to take place than ever before. We can't expect little ones to know the difference. To ruin a family the devil will entice kids to demand their own way and run off to danger. A vibrant color is beautiful and must be good, yet it is a strong detergent meant to cut grease and grime. Teach, teach, teach ahead of time instead of having to react. Remember these kids are easily tempted.
Then up your prayer intensity, You owe it to your kids to pray for their safety. Also ask for more energy and eyes that can see ahead of the child.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful.He will guard you and protect you from the evil one.
Grandparents, conserve your energy, If you are watching the little speedy ones, devote your full attention to it. As we get older we can't run fast enough to stop them from going into the street in the direction of oncoming cars.
Food for thought.
