Influential Christian Parents

Jesus enjoyed asking questions of those who surrounded Him. So, in 2015, I asked a question on Facebook and got an unusually large number of answers and I saved them. I asked, 'What Is One Lesson That You Have Learned From Your Parents? Three answers stood out!

1. Danielle Lum wrote, Love is forever.

2. Andrew Tan wrote, Save money; I obviously haven't learned it that well. (funny!)

3. Kim Springer wrote, Commitment.

All of the above have their sources in Jesus from solid faith! In addition, Holy Spirit activates the purpose for parenting -- to sustain a faith filled family loving Jesus.

There was one more comment on Facebook back in 2015 from Carl Hawthorne, which clarified his parents influence on his life. He responded this way, 'A good marriage is created when each person gives 100% and contributes their own unique talents to make a brand new entity. It's not each person giving 50% or doing what your parents did.'

The new entity which Carl is directing us to envision is a family filled with Christ's joy and the Holy blending of parents. Christ makes it right.

Blessings! Rev. Walker
