Today is Benjamin's birthday...and next week he begins 2nd grade. Something about these milestones makes it seem like I'm leaving small children behind. More than last year - - it now seems like I am entering a new phase of parenting - - where my responsibilities are less about keeping them alive and more about helping them develop into the people they are created to be.
Psalm 16 is written as a prayer for the author - for us to read about ourselves. But it is a good representation of all I pray for them. It hinges upon a relationship. And I can't give them that, I can only offer it. And pray that they will grab ahold of the promise.
