Lessons learned

These are lessons that I have learned personally or learned from watching friends or family that I hope to teach my children when they get older- but sometimes you cannot hear the wisdom of your elders and have to make your own mistakes.  I wish that I could protect my babies from all of the evil things in life...  Maybe they will learn something someday from reading this

God's way is the best way
It is best to always be kind
You can only control yourself
There is NO excuse for bad behavior
People do not change very much
Treat others as you want to be treated
Surround yourself with good influences
If it sounds too good to be true- it probably is
You have to love yourself before someone else can love you
Find something you enjoy and do if often
If someone really loves you they will respect you
Getting pregnant is not a reason to get married
Getting married will not fix the problems in your relationship
No one's life, marriage, kids, job is perfect- things will not be perfect until we get to heaven
Actions speak louder than words
