Let God Raise Them

Our children are gifts from Him.  He didn't just give them to us.  He loaned them to us so that through Him the gift is shared and grows as they grow up.  The children are each a gift and they don't even know it.  It is through the caring of this gift that we learn to not be selfish.  We learn to love others.  We learn to accept and forgive.  We learn things that brings smiles, laughter and sometimes tears, loss and heartache.  But these "gifts" help to create more Christlike in each of us.  I'm thankful for my three "gifts".I also have the opportunity to nurture a gift that really is just on loan to me, since he is my step-son.  I'm also thankful for the opportunity too. Looking at it like this helps me get through the hard moments and cherish the good moments.
