Parents can be those who nurture us and instill the good values we need and not necessarily be our natural parents as there are many parents out there that never nurture or even care about their children as they neglect their needs over their own and many devastating things happen to these children. I praise the Lord for all the parents I have had in my life and even my own natural ones and let's also be a parent to others that need a mentor in their life.
Luke 6:38 Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
