Lehi on Parenting

My visiting teachers just shared with me a message about the rising generation. They each had very interesting insights that had to do with parenting and wayward children.

1. Lehi learned in his vision of the tree of life that his two sons, Laman & Lemuel, would both reject the truth. Did this deter him from teaching and encouraging them anyway? No. He tried just as hard as ever.

2. God is perfect; therefore, he is the perfect parent to all of his children. Guess how many decided to become wayward and follow Satan anyway? A whole third.
