HOW TO RAISE A BOY – 4, 5, 6
To end this little series, just three more little words:
How to raise a fine little boy? Foster a sense of daring!
Make sure he develops a good sense of humor (even when Mommy puts his hair in pigtails:
And the most important one of all: Make sure he knows that he is the Apple of Your Eye !
Of course, you know all this goes for the special little boy and the special little girl in your life too. We watch over them, we cherish them, we help them become the best that they can be. We delight in them, we protect them, we follow them with our hearts and keep them close to us.
Our little children. They are like “the apple of our eye.” Such a strange phrase, but we “feel” what it means because we know we are “children of God,” His sons and daughters.
We know God keeps His people as the apple of His eye.
Check it out, Deuteronomy 32:10 - “He found him in a desert place, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.”
And in the end, no one can harm us: “….for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.” That’s in Zechariah, chapter 2.
