There are lessons in life that no one will be able to teach you, yes maybe prepare for them but in the end what you go through is the experience that only life will teach! Simple things like your first love. When you meet that special girl who in all your world seems to be the perfect one! And I must say there are folks out there that met the love of their life in grade school, and then in high school it became a serious thing. Those are rare folks. Most of us dated and met many before finding that special person.
When your son or daughter falls in love for the first time, I think most of us realize that this will last for sometime, but soon they will move on to someone else. So there will be heartache. But that hurt is something that is a lesson that we can not teach them. I know that as a parent we do not like to see our kids hurt in anyway. We can only guide them through this time and help them understand that they are not alone and that this has happened to almost all of us at one time or another.
Still as a parent you hate to see them upset or down. So I pray that when the time comes like it has come to me. I can help them through this time and with God’s help guide them into letting them know that it’s ok and it will be ok in the long run. I know right now they are hurting and I must also step back and let them work that hurt into a positive experience in life!
For those of you who have kids, hug them and let them know you love them everyday!
God Bless,
