Father God, I think this topic came to my mind because one of the deaf patients at the hospital recently lost her son to a gang shooting. I began to wonder how I would feel, how I would cope, if my children made bad choices. How grieved would I be? How self-loathing, because at some level the thoughts almost always turn to blame for the parents for not raising the child properly? How much time would I spend in pleading prayer for my babies?
I am amazingly grateful for the wonderful, Godly daughters I have. Wow. You done good, God! :) I think Julie is a bit more "liberal" than Amy, but she seems to be well grounded in the Word and in her relationship with you. They both have big hearts for others, with the overriding purpose of loving them into the Kingdom. Thank You. That's all. Just thank YOU. And I will try to pray for them as much as I might if they were wayward. They deserve that much of my prayer protection and attention, maybe more, to keep them close to You.
