Well, they’re off! Each of my children has begun their 2011-2012 school year. As I prayed with and for each of them, I was reminded that part of the core of what we do as parents is to prepare and send our children into the world. Our kids are not just ours, they were fashioned by God for great things. Things that as parents we participate in but that go beyond us.

When I lived in Charlottesville, VA and worked at Trinity Presbyterian Church, I once remember a wiser pastor saying to me, “You have to remember when you are parenting that we raise our children to leave us, not to stay.” At this point, my oldest child was about 4 so the idea that one day I would have to let her go seemed so distant and far away that I readily embraced his advice. But as my daughter approaches Jr. High, my middle child now 10, and my youngest is about to finish his first year of elementary school, I am realizing that time in fact is finite and one day I will need to let my kids go.

This past Sunday, I woke up as usual around 5:30am and prepared to head to the office to pray and look through my sermon before worship. As I was packing up, I heard footsteps come down the stairs. I turned to see who it was and there was William, dressed and ready for church. He said, “Dad, can I go with you this morning?”.
