4 Behold, all souls are mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins shall die. 5 “If a man is righteous and does what is just and right—....
20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not suffer for the iniquity of the father, nor the father suffer for the iniquity of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. 21 “But if a wicked person turns away from all his sins that he has committed and keeps all my statutes and does what is just and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die.
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Lord God; so turn, and live.”
Ezekiel 18: 4,5,20,21, and 32
We are all sinners-none is righteous, all fall short. I am patiently trying to teach what my child needs: how to sit still, when to talk, when to keep hands to self, procedures to clean up room, brush teeth, how to think before speaking, and when to use manners like please and thank you.
Job 3:3
3 “Let the day perish on which I was born,
and the night that said,
‘A man is conceived.’
and the night that said,
‘A man is conceived.’
Show us as parents to help our children release the self-hatred for being different. ADHD children are often very intelligent, but very impulsive. They see and know they are different from other children. Getting in trouble with teachers and authority can crush their self-esteems and confidence; this is the opposite of what God has planned for His children. He gave our children incredible gifts and the relationship with Him to overcome.
Can you tell I'm on a mission here?!!!
Please comment--I have the blog set to accept comments. This is a private blog, because I don't want "noise" from the world, but I do want this to be a conversation to encourage parents and grandparents who are witnessing and training a generation with ADHD.
Thank you for this venue. I can't think of a family group that doesn't have a child without learning challenges!
