I find them very helpful reminders in rearing young children too! It is so easy to pursue idols while parenting isn't it, and then to get quite angry when something/someone comes in front of our worship of them. To love the Lord or God with all our hearts and all our minds and with all our souls, even while parenting, is indeed the greatest commandment. "And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself." Matt. 22:39. Our closest neighbors are our spouses and children. And to love them faithfully is indeed to love Christ. Jana Ben,
