Thank you, my darling friends for all your sweet comments and emails over the last week! It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one that is having a hard time with this emotional mystery of letting go of our kids. We were at our 11 year old's football game a few days ago and when he intercepted the ball, a fellow mom yelled over the crowd to me, "Congratulations Mom!"
Whether it has been through your comments, a hollered bit of hope at a football game or one of many messages written on the dirty windows of our SUV, God has provided encoragment around every corner. Thank you for being part of this with me!
For this reason I kneel before the Father. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Encouragement is one of Gods great blessings:>)
ReplyDeleteJust reading through some of your previous posts. My youngest just graduated at the end of May. Even though I have been through it before it is not easy. Letting go as a mother is always a mix of grief for the child that once was and joy for the adult they are becoming.You are definitely not alone. The feelings of loss are strong but the relationship
