God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...With Age Comes Independence
Children are a blessing from God. The awesomeness of raising them and seeing them grow into men and women of valour and accomplishing whatever dream they may have is an even greater blessing. Independence in the past as always been looked upon as a great achievement, sort of a rite of passage for many. So what has changed? The scripture in Proverbs 22:6 reads "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it". The scripture Genesis 2:24 reads "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.". These two scriptures scream independence to me. They remind me that children are meant to grow up and become independent. So why are so many parents holding on to their children, especially the ones who are considered adults by age? Why are there so many Christian parents with adult age children that are still dependent upon them? Let's do our children a favor and teach them that independence should come with age because mommy and daddy won't always be here but God and His favor will.
Be blessed and encouraged today, it's your choice. ~Delphine

Independence is such an important gift to teach and mold in our children. It blesses my heart when I see my daughter has finally learned a lesson we've been trying to instill in her. Little by little, we prepare them for the world.
Thanks for sharing.
