All
I can say is what a week! Well that’s not
all I can say because I am about to say a bit more! The last month has been so busy that some
days I don’t know if I am coming or going!
Our two children keep us quite busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other
way.
Just
when everything seems like it is going smoothly things get shook up and I have
to question if being shook up is what I need to stay on track with God? Maybe so.
I usually write about the current scriptures I am reading, but tonight
my thoughts are on how I am raising my children. I am certainly not the perfect mom, but I do
my best to teach them to follow Christ above anything or anyone else. I am so thankful that I have two children
that talk to me about things (Haley more than Brett) and listen (sometimes) to
my advice, but I do think about that advice and pray it is the right answer to
their questions and concerns. So how do
you let go and let them learn things on their own? Do they have to get hurt at some point in
order to learn some of life’s lessons? I
so want to protect their hearts, but I realized this last week I can’t always
do that. They are both growing up so
fast and are past mom kissing it and making it all better. All I can do now is love them, hold them and
promise them that some things will only get better with time. One great conversation that came out of all
this is how much Jesus loves us. I told
them that He is the only one that will never let them down, will never hurt
them, will never disappoint them, and will love them like no other, including
me! It is almost incomprehensible to
think that He loves them more than I do, but he does and if they (and I)
learned that this week than it was all worth it!
My
prayer is that my children not only hear my voice telling them about the love
of Christ, but that they hear that sweet voice of the Holy Spirit telling them
of His Love!
