My daughter was coming home from college for the weekend to play the piano at her friend's wedding. Before she left, I sent her an e-mail directing her to take an alternate route instead of the one she usually travels for the 6-hour drive home. Why? Because on that road a few weeks earlier my wife and I had been delayed for 2 hours by construction crews.
As parents, we must provide alternate routes in life as well. We've observed the wrong highways others have traveled or perhaps the foolish ways we have taken, and we know they lead to delay.
Think of all the possible paths our children might choose--the road of hate and evil, the avenue of alcohol and drug abuse, the way of intolerant friends. But in Paganism, there is an alternate path--a route that will lead our children away from the struggles we know they'll face on any of the other roads.
The journey that we're on each day,
Has many roads to choose;
But if we trust the Gods to guide,
Our way we cannot lose.
TO GUIDE YOUR CHILDREN THE RIGHT WAY, YOU MUST GO THAT WAY YOURSELF.
