Gratitude day 32: Grateful for self control

What an awesome day today was. Its been quite a busy weekend but of cause been exciting. Today's gratitude is going to be a short #ulog.

We had quite a long day. My wife and son left for church today as early as 8:30am. Had to attend a Men's prayer meeting in church. Men ought not to be too concerned about chasing money here and there but to also ensure their spiritual life is not lacking in any way. I have such a balanced spiritual leader; Rev. Gbeminiyi Eboda, whose passion for men to step into their role as the priest of the home is highly esteemed by him.

My wife also had training in church. To train teenagers teachers in other great ways to attend to the needs of teenagers in church. I bet you can't be in Harvest House Christian Centre and not get a Total package for your life.

Having been through alot during the day i was set to enjoy some Television time. But before i got to the sitting room, my wife had tuned to a cartoon channel for my son. Oh! I was so tempted to change the channel, but of cause parents need to have enough SELF CONTROL to let go. This is just because whatever channel i may want to change it to might not be sweetable for my son to watch. Our children's lifes need to be SHAPED rightly from a very tender age. They are not supposed to be exposed to all sorts on Television.

Gratitude
I am sure grateful for the SELF CONTROL to not change the channel but let the innocent boy enjoy his cartoon time while he took dinner. He sure enjoyed himself cause it was obvious as he waved his hands to the songs in #mickymouseclubhouse cartoon.

So, as parents i implore you to learn to have enough SELF CONTROL not to expose your kids unnecessarily to things that may not be good for their age. Remember, children learn faster by what they SEE and by Observation, that is; WHAT THEY SEE US DO.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend
