Dad's Ramblings -- The Endless Job of Parenting

"And every day Mordecai paced in front of the court of the women's quarters, to learn of Esther's welfare and what was happening to her."
 
                                                              Esther 2:11
 
Parenting never ceases. Even when the children are out of the nest and there is not a lot the parents can do for them, Mom and Dad still worry (in a good sense of caring). I imagine Mordecai prayed as he paced, "Lord, help and protect Esther today." I wonder how much my parents paced the floor over me.  Even 25-30 years after my own children have left home, there is still a lot of pacing and praying, wondering, "How are the kids doing?" Lord, please bless my children today.
 
Today's Thought: Parenting is an endless job, even after the children leave home.
 
Someone is caring about you today. Love you.
