Thank you for sharing this stunning insight and truth into the kind of risk that equates a parent to trusting. <br />I am not a parent yet, though you have allowed me into a very real world through your descriptions. I am somehow able to relate, though it really shouldn't be so.

This summer I organized art and baseball camp for two weeks and walked off a cliff trusting God. It is our first time doing this with groups we are not too familiar with but did our research and "checked" up on them from time to time. Two weeks are up today and I am still breathing. The world is wicked this is our lot, gratefully we fall into HIS loving arms and whisper our fears in HIS ears. He listens.Alba Marrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984022584106711140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275597446532773244.post-31066620576739044272012-06-22T14:51:00.923+01:002012-06-22T14:51:00.923+01:00Opening the door to let them go is always a challe...Opening the door to let them go is always a challenge.
