Parenting

 

"The purpose of parenting is to raise children in such a way that they will be able to positively contribute to society, the family, and the world."- In class discussion

Parenting is a gift and a sacred calling from God that can help each one of us progress and become even more like our own Heavenly parents. Because parenting is such a great responsibility, parents must work together, as well as with the Lord, in order in go about this sacred calling in a correct manner. 

Currently I am not a parent, but I am so looking forward to the joys and blessing parenthood can bring. I cannot wait to meet the special spirits that Heavenly Father will entrust with me. More than once I have heard the saying that we will learn more from our our children then we will from our own parents. I think that is so true and I am looking forward to learning and growing alongside with my future children.
