My kids left yesterday for the Dominican Republic...without their parents. My Mother, who has proven herself more than capable when raising children (I came out just fine, ya know) is with them. Elizabeth is wandering thru the house looking for her Big Sister and Brother.....
I am too.
God's Word says not to worry: Worry is about the future, concern is about the present. So, ok, let's just get this out of the way...I'm VERY concerned....heh heh. They are safe. They are having the time of their lives. Meeting Missionary kids from all over the world, wow, what an opportunity. They learning things they will never forget...
I am too.
My children are my lifeblood. My family is my breath. Jesus is my heart. Mix them together and you have Life. Jesus said in John 10:10 that He has a life planned for all of us that is beyond measure, above the norm and uncontainable. When my family is spread out, everything becomes just that...normal. I can't wait for them to come home. Life will be loud, messy, crazy and inconvenient. Just the way God made it to be for me. I am a father. That cannot change. I love my children no matter where they are in life.
And I have caught a glimpse of my Heavenly Father's heartbeat - when His children are far away from Home, He is always thinking about how to get us back.
I am too.
