IF… I could turn back the hands of time!
My youngest daughter (Leah) had her senior prom last night. She was breathtaking in her dress, Georgie (my wife) got some great shots of her giving dad some kisses. Now I was all smiles on the outside, excited for her, sharing her joy, but on the inside… Boy, what a struggle! My oldest daughter, (Rebecca), has already flown the nest and living in Mt. Pleasant, attending the grad school at the Citadel, and holding down a full time job!
Where has the time gone? I can't help but wonder…did I do it right? Did I equip them for what life will surely throw at them? Will they love God more than anything else? Will they find godly soul mates, and raise godly kids? Well… can I know the answer to any of these questions? I do know I have imparted what I felt led of God to… I have spoken words of blessing and favor over their lives, and have loved them as best I could, as my heavenly father has loved me… so… I am convinced they will be highly blessed, highly favored of God, and follow Him with all of their hearts for all of their days, and leave nothing undone of all He has on His heart for them to accomplish!
Even having that assurance in my heart, there are already empty spaces in my heart, that my precious ones filled while they were with me. I know the next chapter God has for us will be AWESOME! But sometimes it would be nice to… turn back the hands of time…
