There have been many times that I have closed my eyes and envisioned handing my children to Jesus.  I ask him to please carry them through their days.  I pray that my children will be overcome with great clarity as our Lord remains close to them throughout their days.  

        There is an abundant amount of input that attempts to distract my children from God's Love.  Their senses are bombarded from the moment they step foot outside of our home.

         There have been many situations that I was not confident that my children embraced the gift of faith given to them at their baptism.  I have learned that these situations are crucial in their individual relationship's with Our Lord.  They must fall to understand the beauty in the truth.  

                                                      "But the righteous live forever,

and their reward is with the Lord;

the Most High takes care of them.

Therefore they will receive a glorious crown,

  and a beautiful diadem from the hand of the Lord,

because with his right hand he will cover them.

The Lord will take his zeal as his whole armor,

and will arm all creation to repel his enemies;

he will put on righteousness as a breastplate,

and wear impartial justice as a helmet;

he will take holiness as an invincible shield,

and sharpen stern wrath for a sword, and creation 

will join with him to fight against the madmen."

Wisdom of Solomon 5:15-20
