RE: Letter To My Son
I have a wonderful son. He loves the Lord and has his
own family. Truly great husband and father.
Maybe it is his Engineering mind that makes him act
indifferent with me. Like all men, left brain.... Ladies
right brain? No, I doubt that is it. This is what I think
happened. ( Where is Counselor when you need one?)
I was a strict Christian mother. We were in Church 3x's
a week and he attended Christian school. Too much Church?
Maybe, I don't know. I know he really had a heart for people.
He was so easy to raise.
There comes a time in a Christians life when they have to
find the Lord Jesus for themselves. There is no getting to
Heaven on parents coat tails. A quote: God has no Grandchildren.
As an adult he has truly sought the Lord for himself. But,
somewhere along the line of raising him, I scarred him, if
that is possible. He is indifferent with me and I would like
for him to just come out and say it. The not knowing kills me.
I try not to let it bother me, but it does.
One time after his sister died, I was at his home for a family
function and something he said hurt me. I recall the tears
welling up in my eyes, the pain in my heart was deep. As
my husband and I were driving down their street, I pondered
what had just happen. God spoke to my spirit. He said,
" You have one daughter lying in her grave now, do you really
want to have ill feelings toward your only son ?" That did
it for me, and I got over it.
Mothers aren't perfect. We do what we think best for our
children. I admire my son for the man of God he is. I just
can't quit hurting when it appears I have said the wrong
thing or he leaves without a hug, or good-bye.
I know if this were put on Misc., I would get all kinds of
guys who would tell me where I went wrong. Things like
well, you were a strict Christian. See, you ruined him. ETC.
Yeah, I guess I did. I love him.
What do I want from my son? Love that I can feel when
I am in his presence. Even 'LIKE' me. Is that too much
to ask for ?
