A time in life

I Corinthians 13:11 “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.  When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.” Childhood can be an enjoyable time of dependence on one’s parents.  That is God’s intent.  Good parents help shape a child’s being.  The responsibilities of a faithful parent are tremendous.  To shape a child is a wonderful and fulfilling task.  When that child becomes an adult he/she assumes the same responsibility as his/her parents.  What a privilege it is to faithfully live in God’s plan in the stages of the circle of life, serving our Heavenly Father in every stage.
