Parenting

Somehow I thought that at this point in our lives we would slow down.  But, God has other ideas for us.  Sometimes we meet ourselves coming and going.

While we don't have to drive children to practices, games and what not.  We now get the privilege to spend quality time with them.  And, for the most part, we really like them!!  And they even like us too!!

While we will always be the parent - there is a transition going on - we are becoming friends with our children.  We have raised them to love the Lord, to be responsible citizens, to be servants.  Our job is done.  We are not responsible if they chose to turn away from what we taught them.  Getting our arms around this has been freeing.

God loves each of our children much more than we ever could.  He is in control.  We will not be brought down by guilt or what ifs when they make bad decisions.  We all have made bad decisions.  We just continue to love them and pray for them. 

God is good.
