Our responsibility as parents

BOYD ALEXANDER JONES JO SETHALY JONES

Our children are God's children. And so are we. Our children are precious, cared for by the Father-Mother God. The identity of each family member is forever safe in Him.

These statements are spiritual fact. God's infinite love for His creation can be demonstrated in our homes if we truly acknowledge God to be the head of our household. As we develop the certainty that God is the source of all genuine ideas and of all intelligent action, our parenting will begin to pattern the tender shepherding of God. Mind's inspiration reveals ways to meet our children's needs more intelligently and effectively.

Because there is no burden, no separation, no anxiety, fear, or lack in His care, there needn't be any in our exemplification of that care. We are all His ideas; therefore, we express all that God is— we image both His wisdom and love.
