Lord How's my Training?

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Proverbs 22:6

 

Now that my son has finished high school and is officially an adult I have been thinking a lot about this verse….How well have I trained him? Did I do my best to point him toward God and teach him how to make difficult decisions? Will he follow God? Make the right choices? It is a difficult thing to let your children grow up! My natural response as a mother is to tell my kids what to do and when to do it…. Always wanting to protect them. The hardest thing to do is to let go and hope they stay on the right path. (This does not mean they do not have rules and expectations while living at home even as an adult) but with age comes more freedom to make life choices.

“My prayer is that I am doing and have done the training well”

Birth pains do not stop at the time of birth ~ they are constant for a mom in rearing her children. So weather you are a mom with natural born children or hand picked via adoption you can understand what this means.

Please… if you have any words of wisdom or encouragment I would love to hear from you!
