God’s abundant blessings upon His children come in many ways! They are meant to make our lives on earth enjoyable! In return,we are supposed to appreciate His many blessings by serving Him even better!

But as it is,some of the blessings have turned out to be a liability, yee even at times a curse! A good example is the blessing of children! It seems as if some of us are blaming everything on the children! Just take
a look at the following:

1.Some blame children as a reason of being late at church every Sabbath morning!
2.Some blame children as a reason of failing to return to God that which belongs to Him.
3.Some blame children as a reason for not taking any responsibilities at church.
4.Some blame children as a reason of not going to church.
5.Many of us have allowed our loved children to come between us and our God.Just as the expression “This is America,” has become a popular say among many in diaspora, the expression” I cant do this… and that… because of my children…,” has become a popular say among many Christians worldwide!”

And so I can’t help but wonder, “Has God’s blessings of children become
a liability or a stumbling block between us and our God!”

Just a thought!
