Letting Go One Milestone At A Time




No Training Wheels
Originally uploaded by MAPryor.

Yesterday, we had the privilege of watching our son ride his bike without the training wheels. When his daddy let go of the bike, I was not sure if he would immediately fall or if he would stay upright. Well, Sheldon held his balance and rode his bike. He experienced many falls, but he was determined to learn to ride his bike. By the end of the day, he was one jubilant child. He was proud of his accomplishment, and we were too! For you see, we joyfully celebrated another milestone in Sheldon's life.

Sheldon is growing up so fast, but we are thankful to be raising him in a Godly home where love abounds. He is a precious gift from God, and we are striving to raise him according to Biblical principles. Someday, he will be riding off into manhood, but we know that the Bible promises us that if we "train up a child in the way he should go", when he is grown and on his own, he will not depart from this precious truth!
