Work-ethic!?
Endured an “acquaintance” with a modern-liberal
mom whose 5-year old
showed all the bad-manners and dis-respect of his very obvious non-upbringing.
“Oh!” Faux-giggled the atrocity of Lady-ship,
“I’ll fix that when he’s 12!”
Missed-it! Idiot-(w)itch (to be
“somewhat” polite)! By a full 9-years! Amen!
The kid had $5,000 worth of tech toys (No toy-guns) and claimed to be “Bored”!?
Humans are born with a sense of “right” and “wrong”; it must be
re-enforced!
“Core”-values are imbued in children between birth and 5 years-of-age.
Apparently, if momma or dad do
not have any character, neither will the kid.
Back-in-the-day, as it were, we
(Dad) had a “huge” vegetable-garden.
Enough food for our family, friends and neighbors, and enough to peddle.
Our little red wagon was filled to overrun with “green”-goodies as
“Dad’s”
little-angels set-off down Main Street and our subdivision enclave to
sell
the garden-bounty. Sister and brother were conscripted “volunteers”, too.
We learned to work; to do our
very best; not to be lazy with faux excuses.
One fine summer “we” made enough money to buy a swing set with a slide.
Another year, we managed to save enough of the profit for a volley-ball
set.
We did a lot of fishing and hunting and swimming and ball playing and
living.
I learned to respect work! And,
to save money. Thank you! Dad & Mom
Good-enough is lacking
focused-effort!
Better results in
sacred-ambition applied!
Best always
celebrates success-of-virtue!
Live! Love! Laugh! Focus
contemplate!
Vigilant-be! No one’s future is ever-late!
Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal-instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
Much---I learned by example…Pray! (simple-humble)-I! Be exemplar!
Amen!
