prayer

Jul 08, 2009 09:46

Our purpose is to bear witness for our children. Graceful or clumsy we walk beside them, hold their hands as far as we're able. Even when we despair in futility at their path, it is our soul's contract to accompany them.

Blessing them, loving them as they intentionally or unintentionally break our hearts.

This is the labour of parenting.

WOW!!!

This made me burst into tears! It is what my heart has been saying all these years, but couldn't find words for.

Thank you for finding the words.
