Warrior,
Did you read the bolded from the post I was responding to! Her friends
thought she should wear makeup.It could have been anything. What if
someone told your children they would feel better IF they took drugs! Or
drank alcohol, or smoked, etc. If they have been beat down to not have
a good self-image, they might give in to peer pressure.
Look at the question about men wearing makeup. Men have not had some
telling them they would look better if they wore makeup. Or other things
like that.
I haven't grown up feeling I was lacking, because of godly parents who
taught and modeled for we eleven children. Then after I received the Holy
Ghost at age 18, and married just shy of 20, I have not felt I was lacking.
I have felt secure in HIM! This has intensified as I grew older. We are com-
plete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power.
Don't feel it is my place to tell other adults what they should do or not do.
They have the choice and rightfully so. Just because of MY story, I am not
saying others are NOT BLESSED at all. THis just happened to be the subject
of the thread.
My late father said a lot of wise sayings as a godly father, husband and a
pastor (of over 30 yrs.) One of those saying was,
"Adults do NOT like to be
treated like children! They will RESENT it"! That's wisdom. That will preach!!!!
If we wait until our children are grown to start telling them what we want
them to do or not do, we've waited TOO long! They will resent it!
If we neglect our children's spiritual training until they are grown and then
expect the preacher to straighten them out, we've waited TOO long. They
will resent it! We were "trained up in the way we SHOULD go. We were then
and continue to be blessed.
We were blessed by those who went before us.
"The blessings of the children lie in the obedience of the parents" (quoted

Prov. 20:7 NKJV
7 The righteous man walks in his integrity;
His children are blessed after him.
