As the kids get older, it seems that there is so much more to worry about. Or could it be that the worry changes? This, too, is coming from the fact that our oldest just got her driver's permit! (I'm sooooo not old enough for that!!) There are so many ways for them to get hurt, and not just physically. I guess this is where the rubber meets the road, did we do our job well? Did we train them up so that they will make wise choices?
I believe it was Mother's Day this past year that our pastor did a different type of service (now I must say that a lot of our services are different so this was not totally new), he and his wife shared about rasing their children. It was neat to hear from someone who had been there done that. One of the things that she said has really stuck with me, she said to "pray more and worry less." I like that, we have access to the God of the universe and yet we worry about things! Seems silly doesn't it when we look at it from that perspective!
So I am trying to pray more and worry less! And there is a wonderful peace that comes with it!
