I now know how my mother felt when I was younger. Watching me grow up, not knowing where I would go, who I would marry, how I would live the rest of my life. It sure can get overwhelming if you let it. I quite often think about what my girls will be when they become adults...who they will marry, what will their profession be, where will they live. There is one thing about them that I know I don't have to worry about. I know they will be in heaven with me. That is comforting. Considering this earth is only our temporary home, it makes me worry less knowing that my girls will come home to me (and Jesus). Sure, sometimes I will lose focus and worry about the time my girls have on this earth, but I pray I will always remember to re-focus on Jesus and what He has for them. Kinda takes the stress out of parenting, ya know? I am grateful that my girls have a head start on this journey back Home compared to where I started. Thanks God for these beautiful gifts, and help me to always remember that they are not mine, but Yours.
Next generation, God-fearing CRAZIES!!
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. Proverbs 22:6
