kid

Why is it that children who were once so sweet and innocent, now step on our hearts?  There was a time when my son who is now 17 was little and came up to me and squeezed my legs.  He looked up at me with his sweet blue eyes and said, "Mommy, I love you sooo much.  Your legs feel just like marshmallows."  Today, I followed him down the alley only to find him about to smoke pot.  Why?  Why?  Why?  I don't understand what I could have done to make him choose better.  I want so much for him and I know that God wants even more from him.  I seriously considered turning him in to the police and having him arrested.

Just lying here reflecting on things.  There are hurtful people and there are beautiful people.  Who do I choose to be....the latter!  I would like to be known as one who shares Christ's love!  Do I miss the mark?  Yes! and often....
