Do you ever wonder how you are doing on your parenting journey? I do, quite often.I look at others around me, I compare myself to this person and that person. I think to myself, do I measure up? Then I realise when I feel empty and confused that I am looking to the wrong source for encouragement, confirmation, guidance and gentle whispers of truth. The world will weigh and measure me and always find me lacking, however when I remember to turn to the light for direction, I know who I am, how I've done and where I need to be headed.
I know that I am never compared to anyone else by my Heavenly Father and that his messages for me are so unique and personal that only He can give guidance on this journey I'm on.
Tomorrow my firstborn son is to be married, a prayer from my heart goes up to the heavens once more asking, have I prepared him well? Is he all that he needs to be at this point in his life to embark on the journey that lies ahead of him? Does he remember all the things that I have taught him? In response to my prayer comes whispers of love, and I know that although I am flawed and have made many mistakes, I have played with all the energy of the child within me, I have led with all the wisdom I have been blessed with, I have laughed with all the passion and wonder that raising such a pure child brings and I have LOVED with all my heart and soul and I am ready to send him on his way, albeit with a tear in my eye and a missing him in my heart but I know that the journey that lies ahead for us all will be filled with fun and laughter and new adventures yet unknown and I am grateful for all that has been and all that is and all that is yet to come.....
