Giving Them Back

About the Guest

When my son moved out I was excited he was chasing his dream, but during the drive to his new home I had a jumbled up mix of emotions: sadness, thrill, worry, and guilt. That's when my prayers that God would lead him grew more intense. I did my best to prepare him, but is our best as parents ever enough? I don't think so. We've heard that children are a gift from the Lord that one day we must give back. But here's the thing, the "giving back" starts the day we get them. Make the most of today.

One day we have to give them back.
Ron: One day we have to give them back.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: When my son moved out I was excited that he was chasing his dream, but during the seven hour drive to his new home I had a jumbled up mix of emotions: sadness, thrill, worry, and guilt. You know, for all the things I never told him and the things that I did but I wish I could say over. And that’s when my prayers that God would lead him grew more intense. I mean, I did my best to prepare him, but is our best as parents ever enough? I don’t think so.
We’ve all heard that children are a gift from the Lord that one day we must give back. But here’s the thing, the “giving back” starts the day we get them. Make the most of today. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
