Arrows - "The Responsibilities of a Warrior Parent" (Psalm 127:3-5)

In this passage, the role of parenting is described as a warrior. Why? Because we are in a war as parents for the souls of our children. Why are arrows the weapon? Arrows extend the reach of the warrior; every other weapon required you to be close.  Your children are going to carry on your reach and your impact after you are gone. Your kids have the ability to go where you cannot go and do what you cannot do.
