Children Are A Gift

Children Are A Gift

Jul 09

Like many aspects of parenting, the preparing your child for independence is a process.  It may help us as parents to take a proper perspective which allows for the continual process of letting go.  If we do not have proper perspective each stage can be painful.

We need to constantly remember that our children have been entrusted to us.  God has given us these years to raise our children but ultimately they are His children.  Psalms 127, reminds us that children are a gift from God. 

Keeping this concept at the forefront of our minds will help with allowing our child the independence they need as well as help us focus on our job of parenting.  When we know whose our kids are ultimately it will help us continue to do our best in parenting. Think about how you would respond if you were to have the children of the President in your home.  How much more of an amazing responsibility and privilege to have been entrusted with the children of the Creator of the Universe!
