Raising Children In God's Will (016) Chapter 1. True Family Section 2. Formation of the True Family and Lineage
3) The Grandfather's Position is that of God - 2
From this point of view, when you hear your grandfather's coughing, do you think in your mind, "Damn, the old man should go to the other world" or, "I like it" As they get older, old men don't sleep too much. Just think about that.
So we'd better think, "Our grandfather is like God, protecting us without sleeping too much!" when he gets much older, his puckered lips just tell of his aging.
So you have to obey absolutely what he says. Now you may know how beautiful that is. You will not have any break-ins, any fires in your house, when you are serving and living together with your grandparents. You should remember this.
What do you think they are doing without sleeping then? They pray, "May God bless my children." Through prayer, God tells them what to say to their children, "Hey son, you need to watch out, when you go out, please listen to me." "Don't go out today! Don't quarrel with others, Don't go out too far today." That's how they teach their children. (laughing)
Accordingly, do grandchildren need such grandparents or not? With love, happiness can come down to all of the grandparents, father and mother, brothers and sisters so that they can dance with their all heart. (107-327)
When parents send their children someplace, they have to get permission from the grandparents. Parents can't do as they please. Because grandparents are in the position of God.
Do you understand what I am saying? From the light of the American way of thinking, it's hard to accept and understand. When parents go out somewhere, children may beg, saying, "I want to go with you." Then, it's hard to say, "No, you can't." (107-326)
