You Can Survive the Stormy Teen Years
God's Plan For Parents
I don't believe the task of procreation was intended to be so burdensome.
Of course, it is demanding. But parents in the 20th century have saddled themselves
with unnecessary guilt, fear and self-doubt. That is not the divine plan.
Throughout the Scriptures, it is quite clear that the raising of children is
viewed as a wonderful blessing from God — a welcome, joyful experience. And
today, it remains one of the greatest privileges in living to bring a baby into
the world . . . a vulnerable little human being who looks to us for all his needs.
What a wonderful opportunity it is to teach these little ones to love God with
all their hearts and to serve their fellowman throughout their lives. There
is no higher calling than that!
—Dr. James Dobson
