One of the many things that I have learned as a Mom is that our kids do not always want to hear what we have to say!!
“RELEASE” is a big word for a Mother isn’t it? Sometimes, it feels impossible.
There are so many times that we are called to RELEASE our children to God, let Him do the work in their lives and PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! instead of Say! Say! Say!!!
We sometimes have to Release when they fail.
Release when WE FAIL.
Release when they succeed (Kindergarten to college)
Release when they make wrong choices.
Release when they are in pain
RELEASE when GOD is working!
Sometimes, we have to just Pray and Not Say!
Amazing! That is just what I prayed yesterday regarding my children, husband and a few other people that I've been feeling responsible for lately. I just released them one by one to the Lord. Isn't He good to let us know when we get in over our heads?
I like your catchy phrase: Pray instead of say!
Karla,
That blesses my heart!! Thank you for taking the time to tell me so!

The easy part is turning it over to God — The hard part is leaving it in God's hand !!Sometimes he just doesn't work as fast as we want him to–then we take it back !!!
