Did I succeed in raising my children correctly?
Our children are the center of our lives, all that we do are for them. We work to provide for them, get them through school, get a better education and many of us want a better life for them. We don't want to let them make the same mistakes that we made. Through all this, there is a question that now and the arises in one's mind "Am I succeeding in raising my child/children correctly?".
I want to use myself as an illustration to explain. My oldest son, Ernest jr was not the easiest child when he was born. He had colic the first 8 months, this went right into his teething stage. This caused us this is my wife and me not to have much sleep, especially my wife Charleen. We are grateful that God carried us through this and we did the best we could believe me it was not easy.
In Ernest jr toddler stage we found out he had a muscle condition, he took very long to walk we took him for therapy to help him with the muscle condition and his coordination. Ernest was on permanent medication which cost us a lot. I glorify God once again that He carried us through that too.
In his Pre-school stage, he struggled with his speech. We help him at home and took him to see a speech therapist, we even bought different smile products. These smile products have all type of activities; it helps with speech, coordination, spelling and so forth. These smile products helped him.
In Primary school, we found out that Ernest had ADHD, this caused him to do Grade 1 twice and the school put him into the special class. We tried to get him back into the normal classes, it was without success.
Just before he went to High-school God opened a way for him to go to a Christian School. He did his high school education in a normal school. We as parents did not give up and it cost a lot of prayers.
Still, after all, this, the question arose "Did we succeed in raising our child correctly?".
This question was answered with Ernest jr Matrix-farewell, which was this Thursday that has passed. I just want to mention, it was on my late mother's birthday which was the first birthday without her. To get back to Ernest jr, my wife and me were very proud of him. When looking at Ernest jr me and my wife told each other that we did well with the Lords help. He had a great farewell and turned out to become a great young man to be proud of. And it is not ending here, we as parents are still going to do the best that we can for him further. We will do anything to give our children what we can. We have another son to by the name of Jean- Pierre, we too are doing our best for him with strength and help of the Lord. (Ernest jr and his partner Nicola is the photo beneath mine, he turned out to be a great young man)
I am so glad that with the business that I am in I would be able to send Ernest jr to study further, he want's to go for tourism. I to will be able to do the same for Jean-Pierre. I believe I will retire early and not have to worry about financial problems with the business I am in and with the help of the Lord.
Can you do what you want to for child/children?. Can you say "I don't have financial problems?. Can you say that "I can retire early"? Well don't look further get your answer to your problem >HERE<
Don't let your dreams for your children just stay dreams, make it a reality. Break out don't let people and your circumstances hold you back, think out of the box and get out of your comfort zone, it can cause you to take longer to get your dreams to become reality. Take the step and go >HERE<
Till we talk again

Trust in God always
The best is still to come for you.
