A lady was once asked why she found so much pleasure from working in her garden. She answered, “It’s hard to explain the joy of raising something that doesn’t talk back!”

Raising children can indeed be difficult at times. But with a little patience and a whole lot of Scripture, the results can be rewarding!

Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”—Proverbs 22:6.

“Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.”—Ephesians 6:4.
