God entrusted Christian parents with the most beautiful gifts, their children. Parents are also the gatekeepers to the home, meaning you're the ones who can filter what goes in and out. Unfortunately, you can't control what happens outside your home, but you can control what happens inside your home to a certain degree. While you should remember that God is 100 percent in control, you should also realize that He trusts you with tasks like taking care of your home and instilling godly values in your children.
