The parenting of our divine Parent

We're never for a moment separate from the infinite wisdom and resources that our Father-Mother provides.

Joan Sieber Ware

A Little three-year-old friend had just become an older brother. He could see how much time this new little brother was taking from his mother and what a big change this was bringing to his family. He soberly confided to his mother, "The next time we get a new brother, he'll have to bring his own mother!"

Not just children feel this way. New parents often wish these new bundles came with instructions!

Four years of college and six years of elementary school teaching offered nothing that could show me how to take care of this one little baby.
