Reading through a book on parenting for the second time. I am struck again by the awesome privilege that my husband and I have of raising these children for God's glory.

"You must raise your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
You cannot do so without investing yourself in a life of sensitive communication in which you help them understand life and God's world. There is nothing more important.
You have only a brief season of life to invest yourself in this task.

You have only one opportunity to do it.
You cannot go back and do it over...you must, therefore, prioritize.
To do this job of parenting well, it must be a primary task.
It is your primary calling.
...It will mean that you can't develop every interest that comes along.
The costs are high."
