Anne Frank wrote in her diary....
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature, and God. For then and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature's beauty and simplicity...I firmly believe that nature can bring comfort to all who suffer.

As we've been sheltering in place and doing lots of little projects that we never seem to get around to in real life, my cousin sent me a newspaper clipping that told where and how my Mom and Dad met each other and how their romance began. I knew who introduced them but had never heard the details. I guess I never thought to ask and they never thought to tell me. They have been gone about 17 years. All that to say, there are a gozillion things that I would love to ask them now. Nobody else knows. During this time of "togetherness" that we have such an abundance of now, Mom and Dad, consider taking your kids in your lap and telling them all sorts of things that they may never think to ask and you may never think to tell, They will thank you forever!!

Colossians 3:21
Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Here, Paul tells us why it’s important for parents not to provoke their kids: they will discourage them.

But what does Paul mean by “provoke?”

In this sense “provoke” means to challenge, or to irritate. One example would be the father who is never satisfied with his son’s performance in school, sports, work, etc.

This verse should be taken very seriously. When Paul says, “discouraged,” he literally means “to lose heart.” Training children is important—but needs to be done in a way that does not cause them to lose heart.

A wise parent will use childhood to prepare their child for success as a mature adult. It takes time and effort, but the reward is great.
