Parenting was never designed to be a burdensome chore or unpleasant task. It's a crucial responsibility to lovingly guide and tenderly develop young lives to follow after the way of wisdom and life. That ongoing role is filled with both challenges and moments of great pleasure and joy. Through every stage of development, we can trust and lean on our Heavenly Father to guide us to love, nurture and care for every need our children have. And to enjoy the years we have been given with them as a precious gift from Him.
