We went and took pictures downtown in Abilene. I havn't taken any of the kids since December of last year and here it is already August and Christmas is already around the corner.
This picture made me think of when my children will one day walk away from my home and the life I know for them now and they will walk into their own path of life. I hope for them that when that day comes that I have helped them to know and see the love of Christ through showing them Christ and his love through me. I hope to have given them lots of chesrished memories of a good home life, fun with each other and mom and dad. I hope for them independence to walk on their own two feet and to come home anytime they may need. I pray now for the man or woman they will one day marry that he/she knows the love of Christ to be able to lead their own family together to the Father. I pray also that the Lord place Christian friendships in their pathway now to be able to grow up with these friends to be able to lean on in the future when trials come thier way.
It kills me to think of that day in the future when I will have to let go and let them walk thier own path in life but I am secure in knowing my King will take care of them! I find peace in that!
