Psalm 127 tells us children are like arrows in the hands of a warrior.

Nancy De Maswalglu says that means parents need to take some careful aim.

Our effectiveness as warriors in many senses determines the effectiveness of those arrows.

If they're crooked, if they're not shaped correctly, if they're sent in the wrong direction,

then they're not going to fulfill their purpose.

Your children like olive plants all around your table.
