We as parents, I don't think we really realize we are shaping our children's futures daily. They are like clay and putty in our hands and we shape it daily. Do we let them dry out baked in the sun with no refreshing encouragement or love? Do we let it sit there and do nothing - allow them to watch tv and play video games all day? Do we mix the material with other things that really don't belong in clay - we allow them to choose their own friends and do things that can bring harm to themselves? Do we only pick up the clay when we feel like it - we allow them to raise themselves - learned skills from friends, enemies, and the world...
Shaping clay into a masterpiece takes time and devotion. Do you have the patience? Do you have the vision from God? Can you put forth your best effort in developing this beautiful masterpiece?
I hope you can because Our children really need shaping in order to get to a better future.
