Family is the single most influential entity in the life of a child. Family shapes his or her thinking, molds his or her mind, and develops her or his heart. In allowing JESUS to be the foundation of the family, they are securing the future of the child entrusted to their care. Discovery: • What kind of family was your family? • What kind of family have you chosen to be? “In His wisdom the Lord has decreed that the family shall be the greatest of all educational agencies. It is in the home that the education of the child is to begin. Here is his first school. Here, with his parents as instructors, he is to learn the lessons that are to guide him throughout life. . . . The educational influences of the home are a decided power for good or for evil. . . . If the child is not instructed aright here, Satan will educate him through agencies of his choosing.” by Ellen G. White, The Adventist Home, p.182
