Our Children Are Not Our Children

I love my son.  We have had a few rocky spots in the road in our relationship but ever since he turned 32 and his life has completely turned around; we have grown quite close.

He posted something on Facebook last night about some good fortune had had come into.  He has been going to church with his sister and is enjoying the ministry as well as the minister.  He was gifted with some things and also said he became saved.

I know the other day he posted that he was spiritual rather than religious and I think he can marry the two quite nicely.  He is talking about starting his own ministry.  He has always loved being around children and I envision him having a youth group of some kind.

I remember sometime after he was born, my friends asked me when I was going to get him baptized.  I smiled and said never.  The other person was quite shocked by that statement so I explained.  "God gave him to me so therefore I don't need a ceremony to give him back to God."

I think he has given himself back to God because as soon as he changed his thinking and began to believe in himself and everyone around him, his life changed for the better.

There were still challenges, but he has been a way shower to me to be thankful and positive about everything that is going on in my life, no matter what the appearance is.

The gifts in their many forms that he is getting right now are an out picturing of his positive nature in the face of adversity.

He now has tools, most of which he has discovered for himself.  He gives inspiration to others as well as himself.  He told me people refer their friends to his Facebook page because of the positive statements he posts on a daily basis.

I am so very proud of him because he has grown into the kind of man I had always hoped he would.  He is in an industry where he is respected and has knowledge of that industry that most don't have.

He has an entrepreneurial spirit and I know that sooner rather than later, he will have his own business and be very successful.

He is an amazing cook and I also see him going to culinary school some day, if for no other reason but to be able to cook extravagant dinners for his mother (lol.).

He has made some life changing decisions in the past few weeks and I applaud him because he pushed through the fear (once again showing me that it can be done if you put your mind to it.)

I love you, my darling son.

Happy Traveling
