Parenting is the hardest job that never ends. It's constant on-the-job training and what works with one child often doesn't work with another child. It's a job that, done right, will keep you on your knees, humble you and wear out the pages of your Bible as you search the Guidebook to Life for help. It's also the most rewarding and fulfilling job ever. Parenthood will take you to the highest heights and the lowest lows. It isn't for the faint-hearted.
Call your aunts and uncles today too. Parents don't usually raise children alone. Thank the aunts and uncles who have loved and nurtured you. Aunts and uncles have the opportunity to be in a place of friendship without being the disciplinarian, yet, hopefully, giving wise and sound guidance.
Grandparents (even though this isn't their day) also provide a safe place and wise counsel for parents and grandchildren alike.
That's my picture of a godly family.
Ephesians 6:2 Honor your father and mother - which is the first commandment with a promise
(Want to know what the promise is? Read Exodus 20:12)
