Cape, wellies and umbrella

 

The new generations will surely never wear wellies. We refer to the Brazilian people because we do not know what procedure adopt foreigners, especially in areas where it rains a lot.


Older Brazilians, however, know and must have worn at some point in life, a good pair of wellies, a kind of footwear made of rubber that is put on top of the shoes, in order to preserve them from moisture, rain and mud.


Years ago, a well-known writer and speaker answered questions that the audience sent him since ending his initial doctrinal exposition.


At one point, a young mother of teenage children asked a question that all mothers in the same situation would certainly do:


- What to do to protect their children against the dangers of social life, where drugs and teenage pregnancy have become, in her city, a common occurrence?

To justify the question, the woman added that parents can take their children to a party, the club, the ballad; but evidently cannot remain with them and thus prevent any harm to come to them.


The lecturer replied initially doing a question:


- What do we do when we leave home to work on a day of heavy rain followed by flood?


Speaking further, he himself answered:


- In the city where I live, in the face of such a day, use a pair of wellies, a cape and a nice umbrella.


He then explained that our teenagers are fitted out to their social gatherings equal resources, which is up to parents provide and put at their disposal, as before, because what it sees out there, not only in big cities, is a real storm - a storm obviously of moral nature.


Wear wellies, cape and umbrella it means a good education to transmit to children the perfect awareness of what life and what are its goals. That can protect our youth against the dangers of social life that the young mother had spoken.


Watchfulness and prayer!


Here's an old precept proposed by Jesus that remains more relevant than ever, whatever age we find ourselves.


Paul wrote to fellow Corinth: "All things are lawful but not all things are helpful to me; all things are lawful but not all things edify." (1ª Corinthians, 10:23.)

If we always had in mind these two precepts, many setbacks and disappointments would be avoided.


It would therefore be important that our children know that too.
