Train Up a Child
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
How: back to old ways
Isaiah 58:12 And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
Jeremiah 6:16 Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein].
The system of education instituted at the beginning of the world was to be a model for man throughout all after time. As an illustration of its principles a model school was established in Eden, the home of our first parents. The Garden of Eden was the schoolroom, nature was the lesson book, the Creator Himself was the instructor, and the parents of the human family were the students. { Ed 20.1}

Psalms 119:105 Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

Psalms 72:3 The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
Sun - expresses the smile of God
Mighty hands are seen in the towering mountains and castle-like rocks
Green earth - velvet carpet
Shrubs and flowers - give colors and beauty
Why are grasses green? Because they are pleasing to the eyes
God did not make grasses color of brown or dark grey but green
He made the flowers colorful to add more beauty
