Roots and Wings.

On Saturday our daughter was married. It was a time to celebrate with family and friends. Our family was here for the celebration. Our four sons, their wives, a girl friend, and our grandchildren. Five children, four spouses, one girl friend and four grandchildren. When they were younger you spoke into their lives and helped shape them to be the people God would have them to be. When they are older it is a joy when they ask your advice or listen to your opinion. When they were young you gave them roots but you also gave them wings. They need the roots of family and stability but they need the wings of freedom.
