Preparing children for their mission in life
“Frequently we find that the better the parents, the more anxious they are that their children should sip the sweet things of life. But if you want your children to fulfil the purpose for which God sends them on their momentous pilgrimage through this world, then that soft and selfish side must be subordinated. I do not suggest that it should be left out altogether. That would not be right; moreover, it would be beyond normal human nature. But at least it must be second to the spiritual consideration.”
