Many of you are about the same age as my husband and I, or maybe you are the age of adult children.
My children are in their early 20's or late 20's. How time flies.
Today as I watch them going through the same struggles I went through as a young adult, I did what most parents of young adults do, worry. So when I started to do that, I picked up my Journey Devotional and read one of the days devotional. To my surprise, why it should be a surprise, I do not know...God is always faithful to hear our hearts troubles. It was about adult children and what parents can do for them. Can we give them advice? Can we solve their problems for them? Are we in charge of their lives? The answer to all these questions is No. Much like all of us when we were young, they have to figure it out for themselves.
What can we do as parents to adult children. The best thing ever, Pray. My devotion talked about a mother who stuck a note on the bowls her children used when growing up. She simply put the note with the word written on it Pray. My devotion said, When we pray we are petitioning the King of kings, Stormie Omartin says in her book The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children that "while you cannot change anything in your adult child's life, God can change everything." Rather than fret about your adult children commit to pray for them consistently.
Well how did God know what I was worrying about?
I guess He really does hear our cries and remember Life really does mattter even if your matter has three t's. Live, Laugh & Love others.
