Oct. 29, 2004 From the moment of their birth, we love our children. For most of us, we cannot stop looking at them, dressing them, smelling them, loving that fresh new scent of baby powder, and all the other scents that come with them. We nurture them, and teach them right from wrong. We give them morals, and a sense of the life style we want them to follow. However, in every child’s life, there comes a time when they develop their own way of thinking and doing things, and they choose their own paths in life. Parents should understand they chose to have their beautiful babies, their babies did not choose them. However, we did give them life, but not without the help of God. Yes, God gave us rules to follow. He is our Father. However, even God understands that we sometimes break His rules. Nevertheless, He lets us live our lives, and make our mistakes, and He will judge our sins accordingly. However, He will never stop loving us, for we are His children. We do not always see eye to eye, with our children, nor do they always see eye to eye with us. Dad do you stop loving Billy, because he did not make the football team, and you were a pro player? Mom do you stop loving Cindy, because she didn’t win the pageant, and you never walked away less than second place? Of course, not those are really dumb reasons to stop loving your kids. Well any reason to stop loving your children is just that, Dumb. I do not always agree with my children, nor do the always agree with me. However, the fact is they will always be my babies, no matter how old they get. And I will always love them. I may not always approve of their life styles, or friends. However, as long as they are happy, staying out of trouble, and not hurting others, or being hurt themselves, who am I to say? You do not do as I say, then you are no longer a child of mine! I disown you! We never own our children; they are simply borrowed gifts from Heaven. Sent to us to love, nurture, and cherish for all the days of their lives. Our children have to feel free to live their lives in a way that makes them happy, without the fear of losing our love. If they fear losing our love because of their choices, then they will never be truly happy, until we are dead. And what if they die first! Don’t ever tell your children that you do not love them any more. That they are no longer a child of yours, if they continue living in a way that you do not approve of, because some day you may wake, and find them really gone and never be able to say. I am sorry; I did not mean it. And for the rest of your lives, your hearts will break, and life will have an empty space. Love your children always, and keep that love unconditional. ------------ About the author Kathy Lynn Blaylock: I am a single mother of four beautiful young women.
