I Give Him to You, God...Again

I put him on a plane today...my little boy.
Not so little anymore...6'2" and all grown up
Tender-hearted...sensitive to the feelings of others.
A gentleman who knows girls should be treated differently than "the guys".
He's never "too cool" to say "I love you, mom".
He has a mantle on him...a call of God.

When he was a baby, Mark and I dedicated him to the Lord, just as we have with all of our children. We have trusted God with his life, his health, his safety and his well-being. And God, being the Faithful One, has never let us down.

Last night at prayer meeting while praying with a precious woman, she reminded me that we had given Him to God once...and that now it was time to do so again.

So, I put him on a plane today...my little boy.
Not so little anymore...6'2" and all grown up
Tender-hearted...sensitive to the feelings of others.
A gentleman who knows girls should be treated differently than "the guys".
Still not "too cool" to say "I love you, mom".
He has a mantle on him...a call of God.

"...being confident of this, 
that he who began a good work in you 
will carry it on to completion 
until the day of Christ Jesus."
Philippians 1:6
