Children Carry Parents' Legacy

"Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them." by Oscar Wilde
Precious in the family children are special treasures carved with love; polished with care learning great lesson of compassion from parents since babyhood when they were welcomed with serene bliss. Prospered in their nourishing home children progress with gracious nurture along growing up pains and mirth-filled adventures bracing adolescence might of curiosity-driven pursuits to optimize freedom-driven exploits, guided by parents. Prodded toward challenging choices children radiate wisdom they have gained exhortations on virtues, reflecting parents’ faith-prudence admonitions for good manners, fortified by training and discipline vis-à-vis imparted kindness indeed marked with sharing of blessings. Propelled beyond carrying family name children continue to expose parents’ legacy verily endowed well, by the bounty of the Lord around sweet partnership and harmonious relationship midst exercise of truth, forgiveness, justice, gratitude, and appreciation.
*Ephesians 6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
