‘So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up…’ – 1 Peter 5:6
We are currently walking the precarious parental tightrope of teaching humility while nurturing confidence…
I was going to be out for most of Saturday, and so on Saturday morning Murray was excitedly telling Cam about all the cool boy stuff he had planned for them for the day. Fun! Adventure! Cam listened for a while and then said, ‘No Dad. You keep quiet now and let me do the talking.’
When Uncle Andy saw Cam with his new glasses the other day, he made a big fuss with something like, ‘Hey, who’s this smart looking guy with the new glasses, etc.’ Cam bounded into the room and yelled, ‘That would be me!’
‘Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.’ – Proverbs 22:6
* Voor op die wa is an Afrikaans expression meaning precocious or ‘too big for your boots’
