The Power of Parenting January 6, 2008

You are a parent. You were given a very fulfilling task that has changed your life from the time you have decided to build your own family. Since the very day your child came and took him/her under your wing, you have decided to give the best for this child and you have automatically unleashed this new side of you… a parent. Parents, you have been given a noble job to touch and nurture a life. You have now have the power to help create a better future not only for your own children but to everyone as well. A parent who has the power to raise children who will soon make history and contribute to the betterment of the world. You have the power to raise children who are truthful, confident, fair, respectful, appreciative, loving, friendly, responsible, God-fearing, and happy. God has given you the power to take care of His child, a child whom He created for a purpose, His purpose.

The power of parenting has given us a purpose in life. And that power must grow as well. The power of parenting has to be nurtured and therefore must be upgraded every now and then by sharing with friends, reading related texts and most of all, listening to our children and see if we are really getting into them. Like any other privileges given to us, the power of parenting should not be abused as well. We parents should not abuse our children by hurting them and stepping on their rights. We should raise them according to how God wants us to raise them.

The power of creating, molding, and changing lives- all rolled into one power— the power of parenting.
