Children are loved and treasured--everywhere!
My husband and I just got back from a trip to Malta and Italy and one of the things that struck me was how much people dote on their children. Families out walking on the beach on a Sunday afternoon. Families in airports. Families in church. Families at restaurants. While I couldn't understand all the languages, I could tell that they delighted in, protected, and valued their children.
I just couldn't help thinking about how good it is to know that (for the majority of children) no one will ever love them here on earth more than their parents do. I think we may forget that sometimes.
I'm such a big fan of parents!
AMEN! We do need to remember that most parents we come in contact with in our churches love their kids and know their kids more than we as CM workers ever could. We need to equip, encourage and empower them.
