The majestic Titanic. Look at the magnificent slipway that had to be specially built just to accommodate her size!
Children need similar support. They can’t be expected to launch and sail successfully without the support structure provided by parents, school and church. This necessary framework is carefully designed so that each part of the building process can take place with the best chance of success. It takes hard work and time. After all, the Titanic wasn’t built in a day. 🙂
Parents, keep a steady hand on building the support structure for your precious kids. We can’t be haphazard in our approach. Consistency, over time, is the secret. They’ll be ready to launch ever so quickly; those hours today spent playing with them, pouring life into them, will soon yield the sweet fruit of a satisfying relationship with them during their teen and adult years.
