      I hope you enjoy reading these blog entries and they bless your heart.

      To Tom, Michelle and Jen. You have given me more joy than I can say.

      Thanks to God for the words He gives me to express my heart.

      2 Corinthians 1:3-4 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the Father who is full of mercy and all comfort. He comforts us every time we have trouble, so when others have trouble, we can comfort them with the same comfort God gives us

      Lawnmowers and My Son Growing Up

      My 21 year old son helped me put the lawn mower and edger into the back of the van. He told me we had to take out the seat and what to do to help him.

      After many years of telling him how to help me, he is now taking charge and letting me help him. He is really growing up. You know your children are grown up when they start telling you what to do and you bow to their expertise.

      At work he tells me what to do, because he is the packaging expert and I’m the customer service person who occasionally helps him out. He’s the one who knows how to do all the packaging and tells me how to do things.

      He can also do everyday things that I once guided him to do. He is becoming a man.

      It is a little shocking, but gratifying too. Excuse me while I shed a tear.

      But even as our children grow up and God shows us he is taking over the job, we still worry. May God help us all to enjoy our children as they grow older. May God help us let them go and give us the grace we need to encourage them on their way.

      Proverbs 22:6 Point your kids in the right direction - when they’re old they won’t be lost.

      Prayer

      Lord, help me to let go of my children as they grow into adults. Let me trust You with their hearts and minds. Keep my heart and mind focused on You so I don’t worry. You never disappoint.

      Notes

      Point of Contact

      Years ago when I was young, my Mom and Dad attempted to live with four teenagers. My three older brothers and I were quite a handful. We had many different interests and all of our personalities were unique. My Mom and Dad both worked full-time and sometimes were frustrated with trying to deal with us.

      So they invented the mood board. The mood board was a corner of the family bulletin board next to the only phone in the house. In the kitchen.

      The mood board was very simple; a piece of paper with our names on it. We each had a thumbtack of our own. And there was a grid that listed different moods, such as happy, sad, angry, and nervous.

      When each person came into the kitchen they were supposed to move the thumbtack to the correct place on the grid, according to their mood. This way my parents knew who would be less than appreciative of a cheerful joke. And they
