Well, not exactly a man, but a nearly grown man!! A few nights ago we all got in the minivan for an errand. I was stopped somewhere and looked in my rear view mirror. Jumbled up in the way back seat was a stranger with knees sticking awkwardly out to the side, hairy legs and a handsome young man face. The voice coming from that young man was part-time kid, part-time adult. Where did my little red head son go??? This isn't right! We pray for our teen as he navigates the rough waters of becoming a man. We pray that God would make him into a mighty man of valor. He is a precious gift. Ohhh, to have one day back with that funny little boy who got lost all the time!! Treasure your days people.
You are so right, Libby. Time goes by so fast and the next thing you know....they want the keys to the car and head out for college! As parents and Christians, we give our young men all the tools we can to make the wisest of choices and maintain themselves on the straight and narrow path....then we pray continually that they will use them to be all the great Lord has planned for them. He will be great.
