Is not enough to give birth but raising them is the bulk of the work.
Raising kids who love God and love others is the greatest blessing
you can receive as a parent. But that blessing comes as a result of a
lot of hard work and discipline to model the virtues and character
traits of Christ in your home. You communicate what you are and
you cannot pass on to your children what you do not possess.
Let's listen to the words of Abraham Lincoln: WHO IS A CHILD? A
child is a person who is going to carry on what you have started. He
is going to sit where you are sitting, and when you are gone attend to
those things which you think are important. You may adopt all the
policies you please, but how they are carried out depends on him. He
will assume control of your cities, states and nations. He is going to
move in and take over your churches, schools, universities,
corporations etc. The fate of humanity is in his hands.
But the question is looking at your children or rather our children
what is the fate of humanity in their hands? Also, children are
believed to be our tomorrow's future, so looking at them what future
awaits us as a nation, church, families even you as his or her parent?
Pay attention to raising your children well,
it is easier to nurture a growing child than to repair
a damaged adult. Start Early to look for a black
goat before night comes
