I was reminded again by a friend the other day of the significance of this verse: “Train up a child in the way they should go,” (Prov 22:6). The next generation will take care of us and will be the one’s leading congress, preaching, teaching, creating, designing, and healing. I love this quote and the responsibility that it carries.
We shape and sand selflessly with that thought in mind.” “raising arrows” is all about keeping in mind the fact that as Christians, we are raising unique individuals who will someday be let loose to fly with precision and accuracy at the target set before them by the Lord. No two quivers (families) are exactly alike, just as no two arrows are fashioned the same. They are called a “reward” and a “heritage.” It is our duty as parents to recognize the privilege of raising children whom God has blessed with unique gifts, talents and personalities. “The Lord views children as an important part of the family unit.
I recently read this great quote on a blog written by a Christian mom named Amy Roberts:
What does “family” mean to you? One of the dictionary definitions that Webster gives us is, “ Family |ˈfam(ə)lē|: a person or people related to one and so to be treated with a special loyalty or intimacy.” Some of us have blood related family, and some of us do not… but I believe that this feeling “part of” a “family” of some form is something that we all deeply desire.
Arrow in your quiver meaning full#
“Children are a gift from the LORD they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers…” Psalm 127: 3-5 (NLT)
