Did I fail, miserably several times
Did I fail, as a mother, no, it was the best I had to offer at the time it was given. One can not pass on what one wasn’t taught or didn’t learn. On cannot pass on what they do not know. My parents’ lives were broken, I learned the broken, was enlightened by the whole and patched up those things that were broken once the whole was known.
The Japenese repair broken pottery using liquid gold. Thus saving something broken by making it new again. My life is like a repaired piece of Japenese pottery.
My children chose to walk away from the faith when they went out on their own. 1 of 11 returned. The others choose to walk around filling the hole in their soul with everything but Christ.
I wrote this short post in response to a friend who is heartbroken and wondering if she has. In this day and age parents have been usurped by schools, doctors, daycare and government. Many children have been taught they are entitled, able to make adult decisions without parents present, etc. I have hope someday, children will again be children.
