Truth be told, parenting can be
tepid, tedious, tiresome, and tricky. It is now a term that is—largely or
loosely—associated with drudgery. And against the backdrop of our collapsing
institutions, and with it our rapidly eroding moral values, parenting is
increasingly becoming a decisive act and art. The inerrant Word—not society—reveals
the beauty of partnering with the author of humanity in raising a godly
generation for himself. Knowing the intrinsic worth of these little ones adds a
bucket-load of motivation—the fate of the next generation depends on them. But,
is there anything glorious about parenting?
Could there be any joy in
repeating the same tedious routines? Is there any joy in parenting?
The Nigeria Fellowship of
Evangelical Students (NIFES) Jos zone hosts a 3-day Brothers and Sisters
Conference to unravel the dynamics of parenting. We hope with the long list of
itinerant speakers, these numerous questions would be answered.
There will be side attractions and eye-catching
activities; sporting events like football (Male and Female), blindfolds, race
(Male and Female), sack race, egg race, and skipping/jump rope.
