Parenting as prayer

“When I go up to kiss my sleeping children and linger with them, in quietness and love, that is prayer. There is a wordless unity of God, myself, my children, a sense of gratitude and reverence, awareness of my need for strength, shame for my failings, a promise to try again.” 

— Anne Hosking, 1984 
Member of South Wales Area Meeting
