Raising Children

To know that you did things right.
To know that all that work paid off.
To know your heart's desire.

You work all your life with the one thought, to make a life.
It seems that it was for nothing.
Take a look through God's eyes.
He has something different.

He saw your pain.
He saw your heart.
He knew why your road was hard.

Still water runs deep.
It's hard to know what is kept inside.
What was caught as we taught.
How will they react in life?

How will they use their talents?
We leave it to Jesus.
We can take no credit. They were His all along.

Only by His guidance and strength did we set a good example.
Only by His protection were they safe.
We can never take credit for the handiwork of God.
He made them and He will protect and keep them.
