Children... are our legacy. Our responsibility. They are our destiny and we are theirs. The extent to which we fail as parents, we fail as God's children.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
Every child matters. If we fail our children, we are bound to fail our present, our future, faith, cultures, and civilisations as well.
Children are our future, and God loves the children.
Children aren't just our future. They're our present.
We are a continuum. Just as we reach back to our ancestors for our fundamental values, so we, as guardians of that legacy, must reach ahead to our children and their children. And we do so with a sense of sacredness in that reaching.
The children who are 'our future' will inherit a world created not just by parental devotion but by the sort of zealous, focused endeavors that can preclude good parenting.
Children, to me, are of the utmost importance. They're really the future, aren't they?
All of these things we do without children, and suddenly we don't do them anymore, and it comes home to us in a real way, that it's very different to have the responsibility of a child.
When it comes down to it, I believe that, having made the decision to bring children into the world, I owe it to them to be as present as I can in their daily lives and to try my best to stay alive until they've made it through to adulthood.
I don't believe we own our children, they're their own souls who make their own choices, we just guide and support them.
