How are our children going to respect us, when we don't respect our
Father?
How are our children going to do what we say, when we don't do what
Guru Gobind Singh Jee tells us to do?
SACRIFICE!
We leave our children with babysitters.
We leave our children in nurseries
We leave our children with their grandparents.
'I have no time to look after my child's Kes!'
'I have no time to discuss Sikhi with my children!'
'I have no time to send them to Panjabi classes!'
Where is the SACRIFICE?
'Telling the stories of one's ancestors make the children, good
children.' (Ang 951, SGGS)
Could you sacrifice 5 minutes for your children to read them bedtime
stories about our great Gurus and Martyrs?
Could you sacrifice 5 minutes for your children to recite with them,
the 'Mool Mantar' before they go to sleep?
Could you sacrifice 5 minutes for your children to discuss with them
about life, their ambitions and the rewards of following Sikhi?
Do we want our children to grow up to be proud of who they are and
where they come from?
Do we want our children to live happily and be successful, with the
support and guidance of the Lord and Guru Ji?
Do we want our children to take care of our Father Guru Gobind Singh
Jee's pagh [turban] and make it sparkle?
Involvement, love and participation are crucial if you want your children
to do something.
Involve your children in the Gurdwara and they will take interest.
Involve your children and explore Sikhi and they will be inspired.
Involve your children and they will never forget
HOW MUCH SACRIFICE HAVE YOU MADE FOR YOUR CHILDREN?
Be inspired and inspire others! May God bless you!
