Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labor in vain...Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him Psalm 127:1, 3 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you like down, and when you rise. Deuteronomy 6:7
