"Be the living expression of God's kindness… Spread love everywhere. First of all in your own house." ~Mother Teresa

Children will be "loved into faith".

Even before birth a mother influences her child.

It takes a village to raise a child… for the Orthodox Christian that should be the family and the church, not the secular world.

"What children need most is encouragement."

We are all unique and should not conform to popular opinions. Christians should be salt and light to the world. "The Christian is different because he is 'in Christ'."

Children want your time and your listening ear."

"A Christian who is possessed of the love of Christ is sensitive."

"Good listening requires that we be sensitive to the needs of others."

Religion is taught at home not at church.
We should live in a way that is worthy of our children's respect.
And we must respect our children.
