What were your parents doing at your age?

At my age they were married with kids. Mind you, at this age we are adult kids. Still, we belonged to them and really they worried about us every single day.

Yes, they nagged us too.

I am not married nor do I have kids.

Am I sad with longing????

No!!!!

I am happy.

I love my life.

I am so grateful to my parents for instilling in my life grace and the love of God.

Freedom is good.

But, it can be overrated at times.

What were your parents doing at your age?

Parents are there to guide, nurture, discipline, protect, provide, and love their children. At my age, they were doing all this while wadding through the murky waters of immigration.

They learned.

They adapted.

They loved their new country even though they gave up a lot. They were satisfied and didn’t miss what they left behind.

They prayed daily and gave thanks for the Lord’s provisions of safety  and health.
