Parenting

I have been reading "grace based parenting" by Tim Kimmel. The idea that we are to act towards our children how God acts toward us - with love and Grace.
"you have been singled out to do a favor for God. He is asking you to be His representative to a small but vital part of the next generation. He needs someone to be His voice, his arms, and His heart. He chose you.
He chose you to assist Him in a miracle. He gave you children and then said, "Now go, and give these precious lives meaning." It's a mandate that comes with a great reward if you succeed, but a heavy price if you fail."
Wow.
