      I dedicate this book to God and to my children; James, Genie, and Jennifer who inspire me.

      First times are sacred,

      We will never have this moment again.

      So pay close attention,

      I have something to share with you.

      Blessings,

      Part One

      God created mankind to have a human family. He wanted us to live good lives as His children. God’s Word, the Bible, tells of God’s help and guidance in the past. It helps us today, to learn about God and his purpose for our lives. The Bible helps us live as faithful members of God’s family if we will let Him, thru His Word, in our homes.

      We all are born into a family. How we perceive our family at a very young age starts forming in our thought waves as earliest as six weeks. We learn to speak as they speak to each other. We hear their tones and feel their tears, fears and cheers. We see what the public doesn’t see about our family.

      I remember just watching my family from a tiny age. I watched their expressions with their words. I knew early that the different tones of their words could mean different things. I knew early the wrong words could start someone yelling putting others on the defense.

      How the family interacts with each other sets us for an adult experience that is either built on a low self esteem or success. The way you have been treated as a child has a lot to do with who you are today. If you don’t love yourself, you can’t love someone else. More often than not we will treat people by what we have learned as a child.

      Children are a gift from God, a blessing of prosperity. We are given this great responsibility of this little child to love and teach in the way they should live. They are a bundle of gifts and talents to research and guide to be successful in this life. If we do the job right they will bless us when we are in our golden years.

      I would have to say my parents were from the old school of teaching us right from wrong. Children were to be seen and not heard. Mom was sure to tell dad if I did something wrong and I didn’t want to get a spanking. Mom yelled more than she carried out that threat as she couldn’t stand for anyone else to spank one of her children. I learned to stay away while she was busy and only come to her when she called my name.

      I had church teachings off and on in my early childhood, mostly Mom read to us from the children’s Bible which had the colorful pictures and she choose what we watched on our black and white television set every night.

      We rarely had company or went visiting and were not allowed to play with other children outside our fenced yard. They were protecting us from the neighborhood and the world’s influences. We did not speak to people we didn’t know. And we only spoke when we were spoken to around family.

      I learned to keep my words and thoughts to myself by just bobbing or shaking my head. I entertain myself, playing quietly with my doll in my room. I was reading at four years old which I attribute to mom reading to us at night and an older brother doing his homework at the kitchen table at school. He talked all the time, showed me how to tie my shoes, and walked me to school every day when I started Kindergarten.

      Mom had told him he was to stand with me in line at the school door until the bell rang. After a week of that and his friends wanting him to go play, I tugged on him so he could bend down where he could hear me whisper to him ‘to go play, I was a big girl.’ He wasn’t sure but I whispered to him again, ‘the
