I am praying so much this year that the Lord is preparing both of us. I can't imagine our home without our son. <br /><br />So sweet how the school provided you with pens and Kleenex! I love the gifts you left for your son - thanks for getting my mind to consider what I'll leave for him when that day comes.<br /><br />When my son started Kindergarten I started saying the following little prayer with him every day. I know your son is grown, but somehow the words, in a way, still fit.<br /><br />Dear Lord,<br />Please hold his little hand<br />When I cannot be there;<br />Surround him with Your angels,<br />And keep him in Your care.<br /><br />Bring to his mind the wisdom<br />We've shared throughout the years,<br />And hold him with Your comfort<br />To banish all his fears.<br /><br />Lord, help me to believe You'll<br />Care for him like me;<br />And teach him when I'm gone<br />It's Your face he can see.<br /><br />Written by Marybeth Cuccie of Venice, Florida, for her son, Christopher Russell Cuccie<br /><br />His hand may not be that "little" any more, but we know God can still hold it.<br />Blessings,<br />JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432931327260919721.post-89733354770655374652009-09-25T16:00:43.422-07:002009-09-25T16:00:43.422-07:00I don't have any children going off to college...I don't have any children going off to college but I am sure there will be tears on the day my boys leave too. <br /><br />This is the first time I've read your blog ...

You know, God was fully in control of your son when he was at home with you for his first 18 years. I am confident God is not slacking off now that He's taken your boy to college.<br /><br />Love that the Faculty Advisor told the students it was time "to send the parents out into the world." Doing what they can to make you feel better, I'd say. *big grin*<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. It has been a delight meeting you.<br /><br />Much love,<br />KarenKaren Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432931327260919721.post-2129901417272671262009-09-23T10:48:53.847-07:002009-09-23T10:48:53.847-07:00First, thank you for stopping by my blog today and...First, thank you for stopping by my blog today and sharing your wonderful stories!! I love how you so faithfully listen to the promptings of God through His Holy Spirit. I pray that the book you ordered will provide precious words from God that will penetrate deep into the woman's heart and meet her right where she is in her pain and grief.<br /><br />Tears fall as I read your post about taking your son to college. My daughter is a junior this year, and I cannot even imagine saying goodbye!!! Words like yours are hard to read, but they help prepare those of us coming behind you. Thank you for sharing your heart so openly and honestly.<br /><br />Blessings to you,<br /><br />WendyWendy Blighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955111335145551549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432931327260919721.post-85076629663512606392009-09-22T16:49:17.682-07:002009-09-22T16:49:17.682-07:00Dearest Grace and Peace,

It's never easy watching your kids grow up and move away, but knowing the Lord is guiding their steps (even when they don't recognize it) removes the angst and anxiety. How can I be sad when God is leading my child?Zoe Elmorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11115003296579374760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6432931327260919721.post-36063985913353499522009-09-22T12:41:35.661-07:002009-09-22T12:41:35.661-07:00Such a sweet post!

Have faith in yourself, in your son, in the long road, in His will.<br /><br />Thank you so much for your words of encouragement to me.
