Let's be honest. If you have been a parent for more than a day, you know there are some days you can't even think about dedicating your child's life to God. Frankly, you just feel you have accomplished something major when you put him to bed in one piece at the end of the day (and some days even that is in question!).
I used to feel guilty after having a string of days when everyone was sick, everything broke down and everyone wanted my help with something. It seemed like everything was sliding - housework, nutrition and let's not even talk about manners, rules and teaching about God.
