Children
Children do not always know what is good for them. They only want what delights them. Parents should know better.
But a child can discover a way of control. They cry and throw tantrums. When parents give in, they spoil their kid. Parenting also needs a lot of tough love.
God is interested in guiding us and building our spiritual character. At times, like children, we just want what pleases us. We refuse to be trained.
Advent is a beautiful time to begin. As we listen to God with love, we make an effort to re-arrange our lives in order. We start afresh with Christ! 😊
