DEVOTIONAL
When our fathers (or pastors, or grandpas, or others) take time to teach us something, we must give them our full attention and HEAR what they are saying. If we do not fully understand their instruction, we should ask them questions. We should pay close attention to instructions as it will put us further ahead in life.

We must never ignore or disobey our mom's rules. Her law is to helps gain an excellent reputation. If we will not disrespect her by ignoring laws, and if we pay attention when someone is giving us instruction, we will be very blessed in life.
