Just a Little While

My wife frequently tells the kids that she is so happy that God has given them to us. I agree, but then I add “for just a little while”.

I know that she doesn’t really like to hear it, but she knows that it is true. In the course of daily life it seems like they will be with us forever, but they will leave someday. Our job is to take care of them, and prepare them for life. My goal is to have kids that will be able to take care of themselves and their families.

Do I want them to go? Yes. Will I miss them when they are gone? Most definitely yes! However, they need to go; after all, they are His, not ours, and He wants them back.
