I know going through trials is God’s way of refining us. As adults we have all been through rough times in our lifetime. The thought we can spare our children that is not rational nor what is best for them. As I like to say, we are what we were. Our past shapes us and hopefully we overcome the bad parts.
Growing up I always wanted to be Peter Pan and never grow up. Most of my peers wanted to grow up faster than they should but not me. I saw what was coming. Now there are times I still wish I were Peter Pan. Then when my children are having a rough time, I could approach them like Peter Pan approached Wendy and say ‘Come with me where you'll never, never have to worry about grown up things again.’
