I Have Something to Say

Dear God,
I have a request. Please set the clock back about 8 years. Then make one day last the length of 2. Our kids are growing up way too fast.

Sersiously though, God.
Give me the strength to let go as they spread their wings.

@MoreThanJust4Fun: lol. How about just the kids's years? The rest can stay the same.

I just REALLY enjoy watching my daughter grow & mature an Aweeeeesome... young confident young lady ... It's a blessing God chose me to be her Mom 🙏🏻

My oldest is graduating from high school tomorrow. I'm excited to see what he will accomplish for the Lord. He is very bright and WAY more mature than I was at that age. He has an exciting future.
He was also easy to raise and a pure joy. I'm finding it hard letting that go.
