rebelling aggainst mum and dad

[smellycat]

what do we do when we rebel aggainst mum and dad,after a lot of heartache and pain we make up.

is this just the same with God.?

I guess so

But our Heavenly Father is always perfect so if we rebel we are always in the wrong if we turn away from His will.

Whereas with earthly parents they are imperfect and mess up. They need forgiveness, not always obedience.

Now I'm gonna get some scripture thrown at me by someone *ducks* "obey your parents!!" lol

Not from me ya not hunnie. What if we know, when we are adults ourselves that our Parents are wrong ?

If I had obeyed mine in everything and at all times, my divorce at the moment, wouldn't be my divorce, it would be theres if I had listened to " do this/do that/you should do this/tell him this/ "

Obeying and respecting are two very different things. I respect they have an opinion but I won't obey that opinion if I feel it to be wrong.

I'm sure that's how it is for most people Cat, although getting a lot of those people to be honest and admit it is another thing

I'm never afraid to admit I mess up and very often have a right ole ding dong with God. If you could be a fly on the wall in my house somedays you would think my cheese has slid well and truely off my cracker. Talking away to him like he's sat in the chair, eyes rolling at me, with that look on his face of " she's off on one again ". I very often say,, " Now listen ere ! ", sometimes even tell him i'm not talking to him anymore
Very often hear him booming down " don't you make me come down there Lady ! "

I never do the " why me ? " one though because, I think a more important question is " why * not * me ? "
These fall outs I have with him are usually because things aren't happening fast enough and yeah,,,, sometimes I do say,, come on, give a girl a break !

Wouldn't you be wary of obeying a Mother who asks such things of Canny,,,

Um,, have you had the results of ya autopsy yet ?
I kid you not

Then last night asked me to look up train fares in the microwave and when I said,, um,, it may be better to look them up on the computor, she replied,,,, oh ok, what ever is easier for you

See my problem here ?

There was a divorced woman renting a house near me and she lived as a prostitute and she was fighting for custody by proving the husband was a bad dad and the dad didn't want the child to see the mom. I called a pastor and his advice was that the mom's attempts wouldn't work because most people believe that most Dads love their children.

I'm a Dad and I take care of my child. It is expensive and I take my child to the hospital, to the doctor. I give my child medicine when he needs it.

Someone may come along in his life and say, 'let's have fun'. 'Your dad is too strict'. 'We have fun together', etc, etc, etc.

Did his future friend pay out thousands of dollars for health insurance? Did his future friend cook him dinner to feed him? Did his friend change his diapers? Did his friend stay up with him all night when he was sick in the hospital instead of going to work?

No one cares about their children more than mom and dad. It is expensive to raise children and we can sometimes because we have made it this far. Children on the other hand, need mom and dad until they make it.

One of the things to remember here is that anyone can become a mother or a father but it takes someone special to be a mummy or daddy

[smellycat]

lets face it being a mum or dad is difficult.

You said it. Kids think we make then cry but how many times have you shed a tear over your kids and what they are doing or when they get hurt?
Question: If this is how parenting is for us imperfect humans think what it must be like for a perfect God - so if we know how to do good things for our children how much more does He know how to do good things for us ?
