Obedience In Children

Hi My Love,

Babe this is going to be a weird post but, I guess I got to speak about what I've been thinking about today and things I have been doing.

I was talking to my patient and her husband. I have no idea about how we got onto the topic but we talked about how young children nowadays would dare to "answer back" to their teachers. No one would dare in the past.

Her husband asked me what my opinion was on this matter.
I told him that I believe that children learn and follow whoever teaches them during their early years to their early teens. A lot of children nowadays come from broken families,  and have no one there to teach and guide them. There are the odd ones out but this is usually the case. It was just my opinion, what do I know i'm not even a parent yet.
And I told them the first memory verse which has been implanted in me was this:

"Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him."- Proverbs 22:15

You know, I was kinda shocked that I remembered it word for word! haha

They agreed that they have spanked their kids and have been whacked by their parents but nowadays, its abuse. Oh well.

Anyways, that was just something we were discussing about.

I just don't get it, I have been hit by my coaches when I was swimming, on my legs and arms. But I wouldn't dare get up out of the pool and walk away. I remember the day I was left swimming sets when the whole team was out of the pool already and waiting for me. Man, I was crying cause I couldn't make the time interval, but I still had to swim and swim. This was in Sandakan. And even till this day, if I go back to Sandakan, I just don't like the place because of the memories.

I really love speaking to the elderly. They are just full of wisdom and knowledge. And most of them speak in proper english. Its very refreshing. I thoroughly enjoy each moment I get to spend with them, Honestly sweetheart! Anyways, I know you are a natural with oldies too :)
I think to myself, I am just starting my life, and they are at their end. The way they look at life is so different.

I apologize for the dry letter to you today my love. Its just been bothering me so much that the world is so different. Listen to the difference in music from years ago compared to now! you've got songs about break ups and sleeping around, where as you've got songs like....

" I I I, I'm so in love with you, Sarah, whatever you want to do, is alright with me. Cause you make me feel so brand new. And I want to spend my life with You, Sarah.
Oh Baby Let's, let's stay together, lovin' you Sarah, whether times are good or bad, happy or sad, alright oh yeah Sarah"
