I would argue that Christian education is an­other part of the thankful­ness which God requires of us. The Psalmist declares, "Behold, children are a heritage of the Lord" (Ps 127:3). God entrusts these covenant children to our care that we would raise them in such a way that they would know their sin and misery, that they are set free through the blood of Jesus, and that we are called to live thankfully in all areas of our life.
