Quote Friday

I have often wondered, how would we react if each time a child was born our Father in Heaven made this kind of introduction to the parents:

Thank you for preparing this little body for the spirit I have created.

Now, I present him to you for a season to care for.

Please teach him of me and my Son.

I so much want him back with me someday.

Remember this: He is loving.

He will respond to teaching.

He wants to learn.

Please treat him with respect.

The road will not be easy.

Some of the time it will be most difficult.

I want to help you raise him.

Please call on me often for advice and counsel.

Together we can help him fulfill his purpose on the Earth.
