Proclamation Statement #16: "Held Accountable"

"Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations."

Great joy and responsibility accompanies a husband and a wife who decide to become a father and a mother, to increase their family of two. I don't know this personally, but I hope to. I am grateful to know that not only are fathers and mothers responsible to society for raising members of the next generation, they are responsible to God for raising some of His children on earth. The great challenge for my generation right now is that many of us are beginning to take on this responsibility. I am grateful for the obligation, and the joy that comes with fulfilling it (as far as I know, my parents are joyful in their roles as spouses and parents). :)
