Times a Changing

Running, a time to think. Weather is changing. I am changing. Trying new things with some new people. Liking what I am doing. Kids are changing too. Balking the system if you will. Spreading their wings and testing me. One day a lunch they all seem to gang up on me with the help of others which will go nameless for now. "Mom your too over protective." You don't let us do anything. But dad lets us do that."

Different house, different rules. Yea I will admit it is hard to see them growing up. Especially the youngest. Will probably always see him as a baby. More of that letting go thing. Even let the words slip if you think it is so bad go live with your father. Opps. That will probably be tried a few times or more and do I really want to see that? Maybe living with mom not such a bad thing. Rules, schedules and expectations not a bad thing. But will they see it that way?

Just keep firm and consistent and fill each lesson with love from your heart. And ask yourself "Is it really all that different?" Probably not as much as they are making it seem. I reiterate, all kids need to learn the rules to fit every situation in life. When in Rome, do as the Roman's do, if you will. It happens to all kids whether they live in separate houses or not. Except we don't get "dad's house", we get "Well Mandy's mom says it's ok." Or "Mollie's mom let us have that, or watch that." I could say "Well go live at their house", but that isn't an option. Do you really want them to?

change is good as long as you look at it through the spiritual light,
