I launched my first 16 years ago and still feel daily the absence of her presence. She is a successful nurse, wife and mother and is where God has called her to be. It is like the mother rabbit in our barn. When the bunnies first arrived they were covered in fur she had pulled from her body to keep them warm and hay to soften the nest box. She grunted and was anxious every time we “checked” on them. As the weeks went by thought, she pulled, gradually, the fur and hay from the box, to make the nest a little more uncomfortable for them so they would eventually leave the box and feed themselves. Does this make her a “bad” mom for assisting the child to take the next step? No. And neither does it make us a “bad” parent for assisting our young adults with responsibilities and yes, consequences, to make the nest (home) a little more uncomfortable for them to want to explore and be where God has called them to be. Will they resist this? Absolutely but stand strong Christian parents and continue to train up your child in the way they should go and be reminded that they will not depart from it.Ann Murphynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-91433532232772476612010-08-22T12:16:40.442-04:002010-08-22T12:16:40.442-04:00I was trying to read your note and Jaxon kept inte...I was trying to read your note and Jaxon kept interrupting me to play with him on his little scooter. I was getting frustrated cause I just wanted to finish your note,and then it hit me...these are the moments you are talking about...the fleeting moments when our children do not have the distractions of life, and all they need is a little attention from mom or dad to make them feel happy and safe...they are precious memories indeed.Arika Dorsettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-73607231375561206232010-08-22T08:39:58.663-04:002010-08-22T08:39:58.663-04:00I like this.I like this.Pastor Ervin Smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134143779763240356.post-31580839944724927052010-08-22T08:28:14.610-04:002010-08-22T08:28:14.610-04:00for me, that song "step out of your comfort z...for me, that song "step out of your comfort zone, into the realm of thee unknown, where Jesus is" kept running through my mind.
