Time

I don't envy teenagers.  I don't wish to go back in time- even if I knew then what I know now.  I'm afraid being a teenager again I would somehow forget it.  Tonight is one of those nights that reminded me of that.  My plans for part of the night changed as I realized I wasn't getting anywhere.  We had really already covered the topic of the evening so there was no point in reiterating it when they obviously had other things on their mind.  I wish teens never dated- but who am I to tell them that since I dated as a teen.  But, it was a night filled with them sharing their stories, all important to them at this moment in time.  And, I think sometimes, that's ok.  I am glad they are open with each other and look to each other for support and advice.
Afterwards, I had a talk with my son.  I can't believe how grown up he sounds sometimes.  The topic could have made him annoyed with me but instead he appreciated me coming to him to clear things up and find out the truth.  Being able to have that relationship with him is a blessing.
So, where was God today?  Somehow, my group stayed together instead of splitting.  God knew that they needed some time together after discussion time to just be together.  And, God has given me such a special gift to have such an amazing son.
Blessings,
