Family of God

Your Children a Precious Heritage

Children trained well are a blessing to their family and to society.

By June Schneider

The year was 1985, the president was Ronald Reagan, and I had arrived at one of those milestones in my life. I had become a mother for the first time. I remember the wonder and awe I felt and considered myself blessed. The joy of that first baby smile, the tug of little hands reaching for Mommy, filled me with a new appreciation of God’s wonderful love.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matt. 19:14. As He spoke these words, our Savior envisioned the potential for each child to inherit the kingdom of heaven. Looking at these precious children, Jesus saw the symbolism of His Father’s love for us, His wayward children. Christ portrayed this love in His own life and in many of the parables He told.
