We tried commercial gels and teething rings. but nothing seemed to work. Finally. my mother said to me: "You know, Sheila, this is the first of many times in his life when John is going to be utterly miserable and you won't be able to do a thing about it." And she was right. No matter how much we would like to shield our children from pain. we cannot. All we can do is show them how to bear it and be there for them when they need a shoulder to cry on. We can also, I think, give them the gift of roots. By our example, we give our children roots to grow from. But there is another gift,that is just as important as roots: the gift of wings. This is the gift of being able to go outside the bounds of our own family and function effectively in the society around us. When Jesus could no longer be. with his disciples. he was confident that they were well- prepared to continue his work. Parents who give their children a positive example of helping others arc teaching them how to be productive. caring members of the community. They also give them a healthy perspective on events in the wider world and teach them how to function in that world. For example. as you carry a casserole to the home of a sick friend, as you take. time to visit someone who is lonely. as you air your concern about events in Eastern Europe at the dinner table, or read a bedtime story about a child of a different religion or race, you are teaching your children an important lesson about their place in the family of God. You are giving them the gift of wings. You are showing them not only that their lives count but also how much their lives can contribute to making our world a better place. Right now you can prepare the soil in which your children's spirits grow, by bringing them to church and Sunday School and sharing your own faith with them. Then maybe they will discover "the strength to suffer and carry pain." through the power of Christ who enables us to bear life's burdens. And through it all. maybe they will come to realize that their life does indeed count and, in spite of many ups and downs, it is still a very beautiful thing. So this fall, bring your children to Sunday School. Share the faith and give them the gifts of roots and wings. After all, it's their birthright. It's in the mail.
