Open-Handed Love
I really couldn’t grasp
a way to love you deeper,
but then I let go.
Dedicated to the many parents of prodigal children. Keep holding out love.

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
Romans 8:32
Children stretch and strengthen your love muscles. Stay close to scripture as a parent. God does not leave you guessing on how to raise them, how he loves them, or how he protects and sacrifices for his children.
- How would you describe your love for your children?
- color?
- shape?
- nature? (example: Loving them feels like trying to control a swollen river cutting out a new path to run.)
Lord, you have gifted me with love for my children, but you know and love them better. Grow my awareness of your ways that I will walk in your will as I parent. Amen
Scripture offers wise advice as you indicated. Good reminders, Karisa.
Thank you Jeannie.
It doesn’t take many words to make a point. As usual, your poetry is profound and beautiful. It cuts to the heart.
Oh, I’ve missed you Terri. So good to hear from you. It was funny, I tried to use more words, but this truly said everything. Thank you.
