Children viewed as burdens tend to act like burdens. Children left untrained bring shame on their
mothers. Children banned from church attendance lose interest in church and become either
disruptive or disinterested. However, when we develop and live out a Biblical view of children,
we experience blessings beyond our expectations. Our children really are blessings, we
quickly discover--and we consider ourselves especially blessed if God generously grants us
more of them. The faith of our children is a testimony to us. Teaching and training them causes
us to grow in wisdom and knowledge. Serving them, using Christ as our example, causes us to
grow in maturity, compassion, and godliness. Loving them brings endless rewards.
