“The key is to understand that our children don't belong to us—they belong to God. Our goal as parents must not be limited by our own vision. I am a finite, sinful, selfish man. Why would I want to plan out my children's future when I can entrust them to the infinite, omnipotent, immutable, sovereign Lord of the universe? I don't want to tell God what to do with my children—I want Him to tell me!”

Knowing how to live is something we have to be careful not to take away from them.”
― Colin Beavan, No Impact Man

“I've found what makes children happy doesn't always prepare them to be courageous, engaged adults.”
