Don't Be Short Sighted

Parents that experience "difficulty" in raising their newborn who had a stroke 10 days after birth. Many reasons for why great progress is occurring. Bottom line is, don't approach what appears difficult with negativity; you will stifle a miracle from happening. Check out the talk below from the parents.

How to Educate...our choice?

"The Obama administration believes that the rights of parents to educate our children is conditional on the government's approval, a right that is not fundamental but exercised at the whim of government bureuacrats."

Intended parenting

"Our early relational experiences---particularly with those entrusted with our care---are incredibly shaping. That's not a bad thing. In fact, it's part of God's design for human development. Through fathers and mothers, children receive a framework for understanding the world and everything in it, from important things like morality to relatively trivial things like clothing styles. Why else would God be so adamant that parents teach their children the knowledge of him in the context of the everyday activities of life (Deut 6:7; 11:19)? And alongside the words they speak, parents model the character of God in their affection for, generosity to, and patience with their children. This should be particularly true of fathers (Psalm 103:13, Matt 7:9-11, Eph 5:4, Col 3:21, 1 Thes 2:7-12)." ~ Gospel Coalition
