For all you parents out there

Emma came across a fantastic quote this morning. This is truth to live upon, parents. She found it an hour or two after a rather difficult couple hours with our 18-month-old Samuel. God is good to provide just what we need just when we need it. And he is good to raise up wise teachers like Tim Chester and Ed Moll.

“Oftentimes parenting can feel like a battle. And the “enemy” is your two-year-old who’s just thrown their dinner on the floor (again); or your fifteen-year-old, who’s just slammed the door on you (again). But still your job is to show them what our Father in heaven is like. Yes, they need to learn to live under authority. But they also need to learn of a God who welcomes His enemies, loves His enemies and gives His life for his enemies.” (From Gospel Centred Family by Tim Chester and Ed Moll)
