Life's New Adventures

I recently visited my friends’ new baby – she was just over 24 hours-old. She was all that a newborn is – beautiful, petite, vulnerable, completely dependent. The next day I said good-bye to my 18 year-old daughter as she headed off for college. And she was all that a young adult is – beautiful, excited, apprehensive, independent. While these two young women are at very different stages of life, they are both beginning new portions of their journeys. The only reason that I know of whereby a parent can let them venture out into the world is that God goes with them. Blessings, my two dear ones. Keep your hands in the hand of Abba Father.
