How to teach your children about success from a place of a Biblical understanding of the Blessing Economy.

It occurs to me that public school is an economy of cursing. Cursing is permitted, cursing children by labeling them is required, and the system drags down even the most well-meaning teacher into discarding children who require extra attention. This is not God’s economy. God’s economy is one of blessing. We start from God’s loving each one of us. We go forward knowing his rules are for our benefit. We proceed thru a life’s calling that is service and contribution and thus glory. Our end is resting in his glory/goodness/blessing. Think about it.
