Two, three, or twenty-three, forty-three or sixty-three<\/h6>\n
All young at heart in fantasy\u2026<\/h6>\n
Living ever after\u2026happily\u2026<\/h6>\n
In make believe and children\u2019s dreams<\/h6>\n
But life is not a fairy-tale<\/h6>\n
For under the bed lurks the Big Bad Wolf\u2026<\/h6>\n
Taking little children\u00a0to Neverland\u2026<\/h6>\n
There is no Peter Pan\u2026<\/h6>\n
Mothers and fathers beware\u2026<\/h6>\n
Evil lurks everywhere\u2026<\/h6>\n
Be watchful, be prayerful\u2026never let down your guard\u2026<\/h6>\n
God gives us wisdom to protect<\/h6>\n
Those temporally within our care, never neglect\u2026<\/h6>\n
Let the sword of the Spirit be swift to cut\u2026<\/h6>\n
Slaying dragons; opening them up\u2026<\/h6>\n
No golden egg or gambles make<\/h6>\n
Not when our children\u2019s lives are at stake<\/h6>\n
Be wise as serpents; make heaven your goal\u2026<\/h6>\n
Babies are treasures to love and to hold\u2026<\/h6>\n
Now I lay me down to sleep\u2026<\/h6>\n
I pray the Lord my soul to keep\u2026<\/h6>\n
Pray without ceasing to see another day<\/h6>\n
Follow the truth, the life and the way.<\/h6>\n
No magic wand will ever do\u2026<\/h6>\n
When God\u2019s spoken word has been proven to you\u2026<\/h6>\n
Be diligent, be bold<\/h6>\n
There is no fairy god-mother to grant your little ones wishes<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s more important that you bestow kisses\u2026<\/h6>\n
No Prince Charming could ever do this\u2026<\/h6>\n
Love unconditional and with tenderness<\/h6>\n
For God is the one who grants beauty for ashes<\/h6>\n
No ring around the rosy\u2026or pocket full of posies\u2026<\/h6>\n
With God in our heart, we will not fall down\u2026<\/h6>\n
Triumphantly we will wear a crown\u2026<\/h6>\n
And\u00a0live eternally.<\/h6>\n

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time;<\/em> having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you.<\/em> Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour.<\/em> Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.<\/em> 1 Peter 5:6-9<\/em>Darby Translation (DARBY)<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
Every word of God is tested and refined [like silver]; He is a shield to those who trust and take refuge in Him. Proverbs 30:5 Amplified Bible (AMP)<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
