Make a Commitment!

Staying true to our commitments! One of our most important commitments is when we take our marriage vows. Married couples, in most cases, start off with a true devoted feeling of love for each other, and a commitment to love and adore until death. Most couples are then blessed with a loving family, and then more commitments begin. Our children are given to us as one of Gods most precious gifts. I always looked at childbirth as one of God's wonderful miracles. Parents, stay true to your commitment in supervision and guidance of that son or daughter. Let's not let that special closeness between mom and dad and son and daughter ever cease to exist. Too often, we adults fail to stay true to commitments we make. When your teenager seems to be out of hand, don't give up. Ask for help and assistance to get them back on track. Let's continue to try to give them a purpose for staying in school and getting that education. How well I know, how it is to be on your own as a teenager. It's not easy! I wish there were more school counselors in our high schools, who could recognize our students who might need that special advise. Know one wants our students to fell. If our upcoming, young adults fell in being educated, our great country slowly fells. I plead with all of our young people living in and around the Dothan area. Take advantage of the well trained and concerned teachers you have in your school. They care, and applied themselves while going to school themselves, to be qualified to train and teach each one of you. There is nothing wrong with every teenager, between the ages of twelve and eighteen, to make the same commitment your parents made to you. Take charge of your future!
