Does Jesus Care When Parenting is Hard

Parenting a child can have moments of great joy, but anyone who has been or is a parent knows how tough it is too. There are many books available on parenting and advice is not hard to come by but it usually doesn't exactly relate to my situation. Humans are basic creatures on one hand. They need food and shelter but they are also very complex and each one has unique traits. This makes it hard to know exactly what to do in each and every situation. Jesus understands this and God's word has several examples we can read. Today we begin with Deuteronomy 6:1-10 and discuss the 'Shema' and then we look at some examples of parents in the Bible who found parenting anything but easy.
