I had a situation that was uncomfortable with one of my children. And you know what God taught me? My parenting was done in His grace. He is still in control. Control was not mine and never had been. But while they are in our care we feel like we have control. When they go off on their own it’s THEIR decisions, THEIR choices and there is nothing we can do except pray that God will draw them to Himself. And He does. And they learn from their mistakes while we cheer in the background.
This touches my heart. My children. My family. My home. In God’s care, I know, but oh how I sometimes wish to take over and “fix” it. Thanks be to Jesus for “getting it!”
Thank you for sharing. I pray your relationship with your daughter will be healed, and your heart. And hers. The tiles are beautiful.
