This was my complaint to every moment, and it had a tested list of excuses not to help: "It is that I have examination tomorrow”, “I have a project for tomorrow”, “A group of my friends is going to meet to study / do a project”, “In the school they gave me hard today, and I am tired”. For what my parents had a list of answers: "You knew that you had this examination from last week. Why did not you study with time?”, “This project was not today that they assigned it to you. The next time begins to do it since they say it to you”, “Ah, so good what that your friends should meet. You go for the church”, “Time of more you are going to have to sleep and to rest when we come from the church”. And without much ado, we were going away for the church.

Between the age of 12 and 18 years, to go to the church was boring for me. We were going every Sunday morning and for the night; every Tuesday to the Biblical study; every Thursday to the prayer service; and to speak of the weekends in which there was anniversary, campaigns or activities in the temple. “But do they go to keep on inventing things to have to go to the church?”, he was thinking. In that moment it neither could see the importance of being present at the cult nor could understand the insistence of my parents of which we were always with them.

In the course of time, God is in charge of calling us efficiently for salvation, and we begin to grow in Him and to see the things otherwise. In the adolescence, hardly we can see the importance of being present at the church, and my parents knew this, but they were in charge of emphasizing in that over everything what we consider to be important the obedience is to the God's Word. And that it was applied to them and to my sisters and.

Like parents, they knew well his responsibility in front of God of raising us and of learning with a strong basis in the Word. This began in our house and was hardening in the cults of the church. Thus I learned two very important things that I hope to be able to teach to the son or children that God grants us.

First, I learned the essential thing: that, over everything, is to God to whom we owe obedience, and, then, to papi and to mami. God sends in his Word that we congregate. How many times a week? It does not specify, but from kidling I learned that whenever one has the opportunity to be present at a cult of the church he must make use of it because, definitely, it is better one day in the God's house that thousand out of her. In the cults we produce to God the glory and the tax that He deserves, and grow in the God's knowledge and his Word. Will there be anything more important than this?

Second, I learned that my church is my family, that the God's love that joins us is much stronger than any bond that us one with other friends. Our brothers of the church cry with us in our pain, laugh with us in our happy moments, advise us, cheer us up, pray for us, worry for us. They love us and this way they demonstrate it.

My prayer is to encourage in my son from child the importance of being present at the cults of the church in obedience to the Word and because it is a blessing for the family and for individual each one. The day that puts his excuses, I will breathe deeply and will extract, perhaps, an answer of the list that my parents had because, in spite of reluctant that was in that epoch, the final score was worth while.
