Today

Alright,



Am I freaking myself out or am I being and knowing reality of today's world?



Growing up, I walked to and from school with a group of friends. My mother always had tabs on me, as I always looked for her. I was safe...YES! I was safe...

As I watch the news of the children who have been found after years of missing...I look to my own darlings sleeping with dreams.

In this day, my children walk with a group or ride his/her bikes in groups to and from school. Their absence can happen ANYWHERE, and yes, I fear, but yet, i do know wish to take their personalities away.

I want them to grow up with memories of smiles, laughter, intrigue, and freedom...but do I allow them? I tear for my babies. It is not fair to them nor myself.

I want to extend that leash and allow them to move forward, but i fear that a person will drive by and take them away from me.

Lord? You are the only one who I can trust in this. Prepare me....give me comfort and peace...Your children are growing and want to sprout on their own...You are in charge...

I have faith.

Amen
