DON'T SQUEEZE THE TUBESO HARD

You know, teaching a child about life, is a little bit like teaching them the techniques of painting. You need to give them the tools, and the rules, in order for them to learn how to paint, but you can't do it for them.Neither can you squeeze the tube of paint too hard, or you will have a mess on your hand, and you will ruin the picture!
When we are teaching our little ones about life, we need to lovingly share with them, all of God's rules, and His beauty, and "why" it remains so beautiful.......
Then, as they begin to color their own picture of life, we want to squeeze forth some of the desired results, we can do so gently, so as not to ruin the total picture.
My Mother, who was a Master Gardener, always told me, in just about everything, the phrase:"Less is Best" could be used.
Stands to reason to me.....even today!
Don't squeeze the tube so hard. They will remember the rules, if they've been given to them in love, all along!
