Do you bless your family as a parent? Are you more than a sire, or a dame who brought forth children from the womb? There is so much involved in raising a family, and each of our children is as different as Jacob’s; each needing special handling and a special blessing from us. Not all of them are born good or easily trained, but each one needs to know the Lord, and this requires our prayers, our attention, and a unique blessing as we wait upon God to call them and lead them towards salvation. This is our calling in parenthood, and the will of God for us, but in the end we can’t actually save them ourselves.
