Sometimes just releasing our kids into the hands of God is the most difficult yet only and best thing to do.

I suffered from post-partum depression with my first-born — it was terrible. And I wasn’t a believer at the time, so there was no praying involved!

So wonderful…your son’s graduation from seminary!! You must be so proud of him!

I think all moms can relate to that. I love that “sometimes our only prayer is our tears.” Great emotion in this. Blessings**

Thanks all for visiting and commenting.

What a blessing to have a grown son who follows Christ with his whole heart.

“Tears splashed into blessing.” I’ll remember that the next time motherhood brings me to tears.

Thanks, Jean. And congratulations to you and your son!

I can definitely sympathize with postpartum depression. It seems that you found a creative outlet for it though-which does help! It must be wonderful to see your child all grown up and doing good deeds…trying to better the world! It’s truly amazing what God can do with your worries, tears…and what was once nothing more than a twinkle in your eye.

Tweeting it out for Tweet Me Tuesday!!

Beautiful post. You must be so proud of him. I’m not anxious for mine to grow up, but it will be wonderful to one day see them living out the plan and gifts God gave them as adults. Great job, Mom. ;0)

I could so relate to this. I still remember when my first was born and I went home with her. My husband had a business obligation he couldn’t get out of. There I was, all alone with this new and precious child. WHAT do I do with her. I was so scared. But as with you, God saw me through. We both survived and now are blessed as well with her own family! God is GOOD! Thanks for some delightful memories! 🙂
