Dear Fred

I'm deeply grateful that you've made your writings and questions available. I have a lifetime of experience that verifies the truth of what you say. How can I help my children who are just beginning adult life realize the importance of building a rock solid foundation under their dreams of success?

Fred's Response

Thank you for your confirmation. We found our children profited from what they saw as much as from what we said to them. It was important that early on we got them into Bible-believing churches and that they met Christian friends of ours who influenced them. Be the best role model you can be. Let them see a life well lived. Of course keep them covered in your prayers. Our daughter Brenda once made us a plaque that she thought reflected our parenting. It said, “Give your children roots and wings.”
