Over the last two years, Ive had to accept some very difficult things. Ive had to accept that despite my best efforts and all of the time I spend worrying/crying/praying for my kids, I cannot protect them from everything and I cannot protect them forever. I will die trying, but the fact is that they are going to face trials and hardship. They are going to suffer disappointment, rejection, failure, physical and emotional pain, and at times they will ask God why... They may even be angry at Him. I cannot say what the future will hold, but I have a say in equipping them to face the challenges of this life. If I cant shield them with my body, I will make sure they are armed with the Word of God, the knowledge of who they are in Christ, and the assurance of His love and perfect strength in their weaknesses, which will be many. One other difficult thing to accept is that if I loved them with all the fierce determination of my heart every second of everyday for the rest of my life, it would never amount to the depth and sincerity of His love for them. And thats the most important thing to teach your kids, I think.
