My baby just turned 21. That's a finish line for me. But it's not the finish line.
You don't ever stop being a dad, even after you die. You become a father at one point and that doesn't stop. You continue in the relationship, showing how to grow old and be who God created you to be and engaging God in a living, loving relationship that we are called to by Jesus.
It's all about Him, anyway, and His kingdom is made of the same loving relationships that only He can make perfect. As we get older, we don't have to fix our kids. They don't have to fix us. We let the Master we both know work on us. Even if they run away from Him, all we need to do is be loving and let them ask us for what they need, not shoving what we think they need on them.
Pray for them. Let God go after them. If you want to go all the way, pray God goes after you! ☧
