Scripture Reflection
Psalms 127:3‑5 – “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.” This passage reminds us that children are entrusted to us by God, and we are called to nurture them with love and reverence.
Isaiah 54:13 – “All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.” May the Lord be the ultimate Teacher for this new life, granting the family deep, abiding peace.
