Let Them Be - Let Them Be

Be careful to listen to all these words which I command you, in order that it may be well with you and your sons after you forever, for you will be doing what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.
- Deuteronomy 12:28

For those who have children in their lives and mainly those who have multiple children, whether biological, step-children, adopted, grandchildren, or being their main caregiver during their waking hours, YOU are a major source of example for these little souls God has entrusted to you.

Did you know or realize, WE will be the ones held most accountable for their learning. It is our responsibility to teach them about God, self-worth, and mainly, about loving one another and God.

No matter what age we are, we bring things into their lives. Young parents are more energetic outdoors, middle-aged parents may have less energy, but they have (hopefully) more patience and wisdom, elderly parents may not have the energy either, but they (hopefully too), have the availability, the compassion and patience that only comes from years of learning and parenting. You will NEVER be the same parent to each of your children. Each of them are different, so will be your parenting. Especially if you are blessed enough raise different generations as "VERY" young parents, then "MEDIUM"-aged parents and finally "MATURE" parents. I hope you see the irony I'm getting to here. : )

Just when you think you have it all ironed out, I's dotted and T's crossed, ready, willing and able, God tests you even further. He sends your way a "what if", "did you ever imagine", "will you obey", "can you see My blessing for you?"

God prepares our hearts for all levels of life and will ask very difficult tasks of us. Some we give a roaring "NO" answer to, fighting tooth and nail, kicking and screaming, begging for discernment of "why" we must even contemplate His request" To this He keeps gently saying "Yes, YES, you are prepared, I am with you, I will not abandon you. What I ask of you is My will, not yours, but you will be blessed by following My way." 


We are following His command for us, we are opening our hearts and homes for an even bigger blessing to come. Are we prepared? He tells us, Yes. Are we obeying, Yes. Are we blessed, Most Definitely.

Surrendering doesn't mean weakness, Surrendering mean you are among the most blessed.
