CONTENTMENT IS A VIRTUE EVERY CHILD SHOULD POSSESS BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

I must be sincere with you that I can count how many clothes I got throughout my undergraduate days. It is not that I do not need them but I have been taught to be contented with whatsoever my parents were able to provide. I don't beg for things, I maximize my resources wisely and never wished to be someone else.

There are some people when going to attend a function, behold! All their combinations were borrowed from a friend. Though they have what they can manage but due to their discontentment, they prefer to borrow in order to look good and acceptable.

There are some children who when their parents pack some goodies in their lunch box, they will still look for a way to beg from their friends. They are not contented with what their parents were able to provide for them.

Monitor that child you gave food who in return gave you a contempt look because he expected the food to be more than that. It all starts from that point. Let him know how to be contented with what he has.

Please don't relax in praying for such child because he will be at risk in the future if he is not curbed earlier. Such child might turn to an armed robber or even a prostitute who sells her body to get money in return due to her discontentment.

You found new things in your child's wardrobe which you didn't know about, please don't ignore it, ask him questions. Know that you are accountable to him and he is also accountable to you.

As much as God provides for you, please meet the needs of your child. Don't deprive him of good things when you know it is in your capacity to do it. 

Contentment is a virtue your child needs to possess!

I see God helping us to raise children for Him.

Train up a child in the way he should go: when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
