Dear friend, When we think about the joy and responsibility of being new parents, we’re reminded of the profound teachings and narratives the Bible offers. In the ancient scriptures, we see that children are regarded as a gift from the Lord, blessings that add richness and purpose to our lives.
Mary and Joseph, as new parents to Jesus, showcased a profound example of trust, faith, and love. They faced challenges, protected their child, and nurtured Him with divine guidance. Similarly, when Hannah was blessed with Samuel after her fervent prayers, she dedicated him to the Lord’s service, understanding the divine purpose behind her son’s birth.
Throughout scriptures, parents are guided to raise their children with love, discipline, and instruction. It’s clear that new parents are given a sacred role – to mold and shape the next generation, instilling values, morals, and faith.
Dear brother and sister, always remember, as new parents, you’re not alone. The Lord’s grace is always with you, offering guidance and strength. Cherish every moment, learn from each experience, and above all, keep your faith strong.
