The Daily Ricky

In the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam and Eve boundaries. I think we also must make boundaries for ourselves and our children!

As an adult, I have certain things, I do not do. I want my children to know that these things are wrong.

For instance, when I was growing up,my parents both smoked. When I got saved , I quit. I’m not saying it will send you there but you will smell like it!

All joking aside, my Mom died of lung cancer, my grandmother of bone cancer. At an early age, I wanted my children to know the dangers associated with smoking; so they could make up their own mind. They were not allowed to smoke in my house

Thank God, none of the girls we have smokes. This was only one boundary, there are many.

I have other boundaries for myself,like drinking, cussing, one man woman and may others.

I guess they are moral guidelines, that I have learned over the years. They are not a list of do’s and dont's but, they are things that are detrimental to my walk with God.

Lord, help us to know those things which easily besets us. I know some of my weaknesses,help us to stand! Amen!!!!!
