112: When a father changes diapers and "someone ridicules him as an effeminate fool... God, with all his angels and creatures, is smilling." Rather than complaining about their lot, parents should confess to God, "I am not worthy to rock the little babe or wash its diapers." We should be confident, Luther teaches, that in serving our families, we are doing God's will, fulfilling our calling as men and women.

The goal of this cultivation, however, should be maximal human flourishing, not private profit... This situation was an urgent moral and theological concern because the flourishing of human life, not the pursuit of private profit is the ultimate purpose of the economy.
