I am sure that every parent out there comes to a point where they want to throw on the brakes because their kids are growing up too fast. Well I came to that point yesterday! My babies are big kids now and I can't help but think "when did they get this big?".
We have gone from John and I fighting over who's turn it is to get out of bed at 3AM to no more diapers in our house!
I look at my own children and remember the kids God has given me to shepard at Grace and the same thought comes to mind. "When did these kids grow up?" I have a tendency to slam things into high gear and get "everything" in before they really are grown, but God is so patient to remind me yet again, I just get to help. He is the One that calls these children to Himself. What a God I serve, He has given us a great gift in our children and all that He asks is that we are faithful to teach them His Word.
I pray that I take every opportunity to pour into the lives of children, God's love and grace!
