Week 7 - Long Days... Short Years

Parenting is not only difficult, it also brings an awesome responsibility, because in the home, children become what they are to be for the rest of their lives. Your baby is a gift from God, Psalm 127.1-3. As a parent, you have the opportunity to unlock the unique talents and abilities of your child. You can either bring those out or hold them back. Your children will spend much of their life benefiting from or recovering from your influence. To a large extent, parents determine the attitudes, outlooks, and philosophies of the people who grow up under their care. That is a sobering thought. You have probably witnessed the good and the bad of this.
