Parenting is continuing revelation
“Waiting on the Lord rests on the realization that our understanding is a continuing process of learning more about Truth, of gaining new glimpses of the Light, of coming closer to God. We believe in continuing revelation. Parenting is certainly an ongoing experience of continuing revelation! Our children show us new facets of themselves continually. As they grow, they present new challenges that compel us to rethink our beliefs and how we understand them, beliefs about the world and about ourselves. That questioning can be about our very relationship to God.”
— Harriet Heath, 2009
Psychologist and member of Friends Counseling Service
