Joseph and Mary took their family to Jerusalem for the feast. As they were on the way home to Nazareth after the event, they noticed that their 12 year old son Jesus was missing. They went back to the city and found Him in the temple. He was missing for 3 days. Where did He sleep? Where did He eat? What kind of parents would display this kind of neglect … the Son of God!?

His Heavenly Father was looking out for Him. That same Heavenly Father is watching over us, dispatching His angels to look after us. We do the best we can and trust God for the rest. That’s good parenting.
