A question was posed to me just yesterday to which I gave a quick reply. I have since been mulling over that response but have not as of yet changed my mind. What would you say? The question is this: "If you had the opportunity to glimpse your children's future and see how they turned out, would you take it?" My reply was this: " I can see how maybe one would want to see their children's future and maybe have the chance to correct mistakes but I do no think that I would want to do that. I would rather continue to rely on God to train my children according to His Word and pray for protection from the mistakes that I have made. I believe that if I am training my children in this manner my children most likely will turn out well, godly character being the main objective in our home. If I were then to indeed see in their future that they turned out well, I think it would give me the excuse to be more lax in my parenting which of course would benefit no one. So I would decline that offer to glimpse their future no matter how tempting it would be."

So my question to you is this.....To Glimpse or Not to Glimpse????
