A quote of mine from a sermon on Parenting Proverbs:
“Every bit of parenting is a spiritual endeavor. Every bit! We cannot go to the ice cream store without it being a spiritual expedition. A trip to the ice cream store is immensely multi-faceted. It involves themes of temperance, thankfulness, control, charity for others, and host of other things. Parenting is and must be a deliberate spiritual endeavor.”
