When you stand over your child’s dead body

Got this in today’s Grace Gem. The quote is by C.H. Spurgeon.

May you so live, that when you stand over your child’s dead body, you may never hear a voice coming up from that clay, ”Father, your negligence was my destruction! Mother, your prayerlessness was the instrument of my damnation!
Impress these words of Mine on your hearts and minds . . . Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Ouch. Christian parent, are you praying for your children and training them in the way they should go? (Proverbs 22:6)
