Teenagers

When I was just a young girl, I imagined what life would be like when I grew up.  A husband, two kids and a dog.  That was about it and that's what I got.  Little did I know then, that the best part of that group would be the dog....

Of course, I am kidding.  I love my family.  My two sons are wonderful.  They are growing up quickly and they are learning some very important but tough life lessons.  Lessons that one just can't sit back and hope you don't have to go through. These are lessons they have to learn on the battlefront.  Have they failed the tests?  Heavens no.  Have they tested the tests?  Oh YES...

We as parents, so much want our kids to take the right road, choose the path of least resistance, the way of life and peace and joy.  It is such a heavy burden on our hearts when they choose their way.  The way of the world.  The way "all their friends" are going.  It requires daily and nightly prayer on the part of parents.  We lift them up continuously.  We are assured that God is holding them close to His heart, for we can not love them more than He does.  That is our comfort.  That is our hope.  That is all there is....

For God so loved....
