When people hear the word parenthood, in rush all kinds of thoughts and feelings—some positive and some negative. One may remember the joy of having a faithful dad or the comfort that comes with a diligent mom. Another may remember the horrors of an abusive father or the loneliness created by an absent mother. However, the Scriptures hold out hope to every parent who is listening: no matter what kind of home you came from, it is not too late to start doing right in that all-important parent-child relationship.
