When we were little (5-7 yrs old), my sisters and I would play “house”.
I was the dad, my immediate younger sister was the mom, and my 2 last sisters were the children.
We knew from that young age that we would one day be parents. Our parents wanted us to be parents.
Everything they did was designed to train us to be effective and responsible adults and parents.
We were ALL trained to be parents. None was ignored. They believed we would grow up one day to be parents.
They even prayed about it and declared that we and our children would blessed.
As a disciple of Jesus, it is our responsibility to do EVERYTHING with the mindset that the believers that God leads to us, can and will be great disciple-makers.
