Why does this bother you so much? I’m really getting sick and tired of everyone bashing Christianity, because no one says this about other religions. If you don’t like it, so be it, but why should you feel the need to comment about it? I think it’s wonderful he’s teaching his daughters this. BTW, I’m sorry your dad taught you wrong, you need God! When I turned my life over to Christ, I felt pure joy, different than any kind I’ve experienced. I hope you accept Christ before it’s too late, each day is not promised to us.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord…Proverbs 3:5-7

Love in Christ, Suzanne

Bland list, a bunch of no brainers

Anyone else notice “Put God First” is number 17?

I would replace it with “don’t be superstitious”

Hi,
What you will read will sound raw. I am a 36 years old woman who was unfortunate having a jerk as a father but fortunate of having him at home until I was 5 years old. Ever since, our relationship consisted basically on me pointing at his mistakes with my mom and us as his children. So I grew up holding lots of things against him because the things he did, in special those we needed him to do, and never did. He was simply not there for me as I was growing, and my mom could not teach me everything I needed to know either. I was raised up going to Church, but they did not teach all what I needed to learn to prepare myself to face life as it is. The outcome, I had a couple of broken hearts, and an unsuccessful marriage having made a poor choice. I have many doubts about my capability to succeed in life, and my self-esteem is not high enough. The 25 taughts are great to know as a woman, but I still need to find either a book, a website or another sources about how to fix the mess. There must be something out there for women who did not have their fathers guiding them but rather humiliating them, and crushing their hearts. Something to help heal and to build up the new woman we need to become to be happy, succeed in life and even to know how to pick her life partner. If you know of any source that is not only by going to psychotherapist would you please be so kind of sharing that with me? Thank you so much!

You should teach them that you love their mother and your daughters should too.
