아버지

아버지

어릴 때

아버지가
삽과 괭이로
땅 파거나

낫으로
풀 깎거나

도끼로
장작 패거나

싸구려
담배 물고
먼 산 바라보거나

술에 져서
길바닥에
넘어지거나

저녁 밥상
걷어차거나

할 때에,

식구가 모르는
아버지만의
내밀한

큰 슬픔 있어
그랬으리라

아버지의 큰 뜻
세상에 맞지 않아
그랬으리라 그

렇게 바꿔
생각하고는
하였다

그러하지 않고서야

아버지의
무능과 불운
어찌 내 설움으로

연민하고
용서할 수
있었겠는가

그러나
그날의 아버지를
살고 있는
오늘에야

나는 알았다

아버지에게
애초 큰 뜻
없었다는
것을

그저
자연으로
태어나

자연으로
살다갔을
뿐이라는
것을

채마밭에서
풀 뽑고 있는
아버지는

그냥
풀 뽑고
담배 피우는

아버지는
그냥 담배 피우고
있었을 뿐이라는
것을

늦은 밤

멍한 눈길로
티브이 화면이나
쫓는

오늘의 나를
아들은 어떻게
볼까

그도 나를,
나 이상으로
알고 있는 것은
아닐까

아들아,

자본의
자식으로 태어나
자란 아버지는

자본 속을 살다
자본에 지쳐
돌아와

멍한 눈길로
그냥 티브이를
보고 있는
거란다

나를 보는
네 눈길이 무섭다

아버지들은
아주 먼 옛날부터
오늘에까지

연장으로
땅을 파거나

서류를
뒤적이거나

라디오 연속극
듣고 있거나

인터넷하고
있거나

배달되는
신문기사 읽고
있을 뿐이다

아버지에게서
아버지 너머를
읽지 말아
다오

아버지는 결코
위대하지
않다

이후로도

아버지는
그저

아버지일 뿐이다

Therefore

그런즉
너희는

내일 일은
내일이 염려할

한 날의
괴로움은

그 날로 족하니라

축복 받은 사람들

축복 받은 사람들

축복 받은
사람의 특징은 

그들이
어디를 가든
항상 축복의 말을
한다는 것이네.

자네가
축복 받았다는
사실에 접하게 될 때,

다른 사람을
축복하거나
그들의 장점에 대해
이야기하거나,

그들의
아름다움과
진실함을
이끌어내는 일이 

얼마나
쉬워지는지 알면
놀랄 걸세.

축복 받은 사람은
항상 다른 사람을
축복하네.

그리고 사람들은
축복 받기를 원하네. 

이 사실은
자네가 어디에 있든
자명한 일이네….

축복을
받은 사람들인
우리는 

이 세상을
살아가면서
축복을 나누어
줄 수 있네.

많은 노력을
필요로 하는 일도
아니지.

우리
마음속에서
자연스럽게
흘러나오니까.

내면에서
우리 이름을 부르고

우리를 축복하는
목소리를 들을 때,

어둠은 더 이상
혼란스럽게
하지 못하네.

사랑 받는 자로
부르신 그 목소리가

다른
사람들을
축복하는단어들을
알게 하실 것이고 

그들도
우리와 동일하게
축복 받는 존재임을
보여주실 걸세.

See You Again


It’s been a long day
without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it
when I see you again

We’ve
come a long way
from where we began
Oh I’ll tell you all about it
when I see you again
When I see you
again

Damn, who knew
all the planes we flew
Good things we’ve been through
That I’ll be standing right here
Talking to you about another path
I Know we loved to hit
the road and laugh

But
something told me
that it wouldn’t
last

Had to switch up
look at things different
see the bigger picture

Those were the days
hard work forever pays now
I see you in a better
place

How could we not
talk about family when
family’s all that
we got?

Everything
I went through
you were standing there
by my side

And now
you gonna be with me
for the last ride

It’s been a long day
without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it
when I see you
again

We’ve come a long way
from where we began
Oh I’ll tell you all about it
when I see you again
When I see you again

First you both
go out your way
And the vibe is
feeling strong and what’s
Small turn to
a friendship,
a friendship

Turn into a bond
and that bond will never
Be broken and the love will
never get lost

And when brotherhood
come first then the line
Will never be crossed
established it on
our own

When that line had to be
drawn and that line is what
We reach so remember me
when I’m gone

How could we not
talk about
family

when
family’s all that
we got?

Everything I went through
you were standing there
by my side

And now
you gonna be with me
for the last ride

So let the light
guide your way
hold every memory
As you go

and every road you take
will always lead you
home

It’s been a long day
without you, my friend
And I’ll tell you all about it
when I see you again

We’ve come a long way
from where we began
Oh I’ll tell you all about it
when I see you again
When I see you again

Building a Sense of Security in Your Growing Children

Building a Sense of Security in Your Growing Children

Ivy Prep Team on April 5, 2019

 

Just like all of us, kids have a need to feel secure and safe. They need to feel loved and cared for by the people around them. As you work to raise your little ones in a loving environment, it’s important to make sure your children develop a sense of security. Children who have a feeling of security and safety are likely to become independent and emotionally healthy as they grow.

No matter where your family is from, whether you are raising your children as a single parent or along with a spouse, it is absolutely necessary to help your little ones to feel safe and secure.

But, how do you help to establish a sense of security in your kids? How can you work to make sure they grow into emotionally and mentally healthy adults? And how does security help them to do that? We’ve got some helpful answers for you!

What Does it Mean to Have a Sense of Security?

When we say that it’s important for children to develop a sense of security, what do we really mean? Well, when a child feels secure, he or she feels safe. This is not just a sense of physical safety, although that’s extremely important. But, it is also a feeling of emotional safety and security.

Children need to feel that it is okay for them to express their emotions. It’s okay to feel. They also need to feel that there is stability in their lives.

That is why kids need to have a routine and a consistent and stable atmosphere.

They should know that their needs will be met and that the people around them will make sure that they are kept safe.

A sense of security ensures a feeling of stability and consistency. So, when a child feels this way, it means that the child feels that his or her caregivers are dependable, reliable, and have a genuine care for the little one.

Now that we have discussed what it means for your child to have a true sense of security, let’s talk a little bit about why it is important for your children to feel more secure.
How Your Child Benefits From Feeling Secure

Building a Sense of Security in Your Growing Children

When children develop a sense of security, they will actually experience the benefits throughout many different areas of their lives. Security helps to develop emotional, mental, and physical health.

We’ve mentioned that children who feel secure can feel freer to express their emotions. But this is just one of the benefits of having a sense of security. Children who feel secure also:

* Develop a sense and knowledge of boundaries. This allows the children to know and feel that their home and families are practicing consistency. As a result, your children will feel respected and develop a sense of respect for you.

* Feel that they can trust you. When children have a sense of security, they know that they can trust you. They know that you will meet their needs and they don’t have to worry. Trust is an extremely important part of feeling secure.

* Gain healthy relationships with others. A sense of security can help individuals to feel more comfortable when they encounter and interact with other people. So, your children may connect better with their peers as well as the other adults in their lives as a result of feeling secure and safe.

* Have more self-confidence. Children who have a real feeling of security tend to feel more comfortable with who they are. They feel less afraid to learn about themselves and their world. And they are not fearful about growing up and developing into the people they are meant to be!

How You Can Help Establish a Sense of Security in Your Kids
Now that you have learned a little bit about the benefits of feeling secure, you may wonder how you can help your little ones in this area. Well, there are several things you can do.

Making sure your children’s physical needs are met can be very helpful in helping them to feel safe and secure.

Food, clothing, and shelter are all physical needs.

You can also meet your kids’ emotional needs by listening to them, helping them to express their feelings, and allowing them to feel free to talk to you about what they’re experiencing.

Finally, you can make sure that they grow and learn in an atmosphere that is safe, fun, engaging, and positive!

The Sheep of His Pasture

The Sheep of His Pasture

Know that
the LORD is
God.

It is he
who made
us,

and
we are
his;

we are
his people,
the sheep of his
pasture.

Enter
his gates
with thanksgiving

and
his courts
with praise;

give
thanks
to him and praise
his name.

For
the LORD is
good

and
his love endures
forever;

his
faithfulness
continues

through
all generations.

Psalm 100: 3-5

여호와가
우리 하나님이신줄
너희는 알찌어다

그는
우리를
지으신 자시요

우리는
그의 것이니

그의 백성이요

그의 기르시는
양이로다

감사함으로
그 문에 들어가며

찬송함으로
그 궁정에 들어가서

그에게 감사하며

그 이름을
송축할찌어다

대저
여호와는
선하시니

그 인자하심이
영원하고

그 성실하심이
대대에 미치리로다

아버지의 유산

아버지의 유산

아버지는
도덕 교과서,

아버지의
교과서엔
글자가 없다

내가 읽은
많은 책들이

길이라고
우길 때에도

아버지는
내 도덕 교과서에

밑줄을 긋지
않으셨다

행간과
행간 사이에 빠져
허우적일
때에도

아버지는

아버지의
도덕 교과서를
펼치지 않으셨다

아버지는
나의 학교,

길눈이
어두워질 때마다

아버지가
유산으로
물려주신

도덕 교과서를
꺼내어
읽는다

세월이 가면
나의 아들딸도

내가 만들
교과서를 꺼내어
읽겠지

글자 없이
읽던

아버지의
도덕 교과서를

오늘은
소리내어
읽고 있다
