Don't Bother Building A Family Swimming Pool If It Is Not Like This (PICS) by maureensylvia(op): 4:05pm On Nov 01, 2022
If you have swimming pool in your house and you have children...

This is how your swimming pool should look like.

May what we build for family pleasure never end up causing deepest pains.

This post was inspired by the death of Davido's son... Rest on cutie.

All this is non essential. A remote cover would be cool

It's good to secure your properties and apply precautions and all that,

But what is Most Important is for us to be Fully seated in JESUS Christ because "Except the LORD watches over a House, the Watchmen are watching but in Vain".

Many things that happen in the Physical are first Spiritually orchestrated and concluded in the Spiritual realm.

It takes someone who is Fortified in GOD to stand in the gap and Cancel the Evil.

This, or a pool cover would certainly have prevented his drowning.
This mentality of What Will Be Will Be that some people have, thereby neglecting to do the needful, can prove costly at times.

Basically, accidents happen when we fail to identify hazards & put appropriate barriers against same.

The door of that little net might at one time or the other be opened and kids will definitely stroll in so anything can still happen. It's best if the pool is entirely separated from the building.

I think the right expression is "a child that will drown will drown". No child wants to drown.

benalvino3:
You leave your kid in a hurt car and when dies you say a kid that will die will die. Are you this stupid?

Parents being careless does not matter. A kid that will drown will drown that's how you reason?
I was only correcting his expression and that doesn't suggest I agree with them. But thinking about it now, that expression doesn't necessarily mean people should be careless. It simply means "accidents happen". It is an applied version of the saying "what will be will be" which doesn't mean you shouldn't work hard to take control of an outcome but simply means you can only do your best. We can't possibly say for sure the kid wasn't properly taken care of just because he happened to be a victim of this unfortunate event.

The most protected kids still get into accidents. It only takes a second or two. Even with adults around, a kid could hit a glass door while running around and injure themself. It could happen just when you decide look down and tie your shoelaces. Can you think of sometime time in the past when a kid fell of the edge of the bed while playing? It's more or less the same. The difference is the intensity of the accident. When it hasn't happened to us before, we believe it could never happen and we authoritatively criticize others. But the truth is que sera sera.

PS: Don't call people "stupid" just to make a point.

Accidents happen.

Better to avoid having one at home if you have kids less than 15 years old.

If they want to swim, they can do so in public swimming pools where there are adults watching them.

Cos my my restless daughter will climb that fence somehow somehow.

Kids are very unpredictable and dumb.

Children can still climb that fence and gain entry.

The best solution is a pool alarm.

The sensors detect unauthorized entry and will trigger the alarm to let people know someone is in the pool.

A pool alarm is the best especially for large houses with plenty of space.

gentleman82:
Repent now of your sinful evil ways to avoid spending your eternity in hell fire after you die. Jesus Christ love and warns you to repent and convert now to Christianity to avoid hell fire. Only Jesus Christ can save you by his death on the cross and his blood which washes away your sins, any other ways ( Islam, paganism, Hinduism, atheism, etc) can not save you. Be wise while you still have the chance accept Jesus Christ now and save your soul from hell. Be wiser than Satan and follow the one true God. This is the eternal truth from the spiritual realm. Without Jesus Christ in your life it feels empty like death.
Religious extremist sighted
