I just finished reading a small, quite old parenting book titled Seven Things Children Need by John Drescher. More for me than those reading, I wanted to jot down some quotes so I can go back and refer to them on occasion.
“James L. Hymes Jr. suggest that parents should fall in love with their child every day anew just because he is the way he is. The child really lives by love, not by shelter, food or clothing.”
Taken from The Children by Charles M. Dickinson…
They are idols of hearts and of households
They are angels of God in disguise;
The sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still gleams in their eyes;
These truants from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild;
And I know now how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.
