Lutheran Witness: December 2023
The December issue of The Lutheran Witness reflects on “The Blessing of Children.”
Parents/Parenting
The Blessing of Children
Every child is a blessing, even if that blessing is an opportunity for parents to learn self-sacrifice — and even if that blessing is, in the eyes of the world, one too many.
The Misguided Individualism of the “Self-Care” Movement
Rest is necessary. But as Christians, we see other people as central to our vocation, rather than obstacles to our happiness.
Why (and How) to Read Your Kids Disturbing Bible Stories
Our children need to know about ugly realities like sin, death and the devil in order to understand the faith.
Making the Most of Your Kids’ Summer Boredom
We can give our kids the gift of the right kind of boredom and provide them with a chance to think.
