They are growing up...

Posted in Reflections of a Homeschool Mom

So today I left my boys home alone with the oldest for the first time. WOW! how scarry I felt and anxious to get home was I. They did just fine of course but the first time is always the scarriest, right???? I am sure that if you have been leaving your kids home alone with an older sybling for a while you are chuckling at me right now as it also brings back those memories for you too.
I wonder if the mama birds get a bit nervious when it is time to teach those youngin's to fly? Do they get a bit scared that they will fall straight to the ground and break a wing or something worse? I am sure we are the only creatures in God's beautiful creation who have these feelings. I am frightened to let go but excited at the same time.
Lord, help me not to tighten the reigns too tight but also at the same time not to dish out more than what they are really capable and mature enough to handle.

It doesn't get easier for me. I am anxious every time. I shouldn't be but I am. that's not very encouraging, is it?
