When An Hour Counts



When An Hour Counts
   

My daughter recently had minor surgery and is home convalescing. She’s still able to do things, use the computer, walk around, and drive too, but is on medication which can make her drowsy, so needs to stay indoors when she’s taken the medication and give in to it.

She wanted to go feed her horse and I was worried about her doing that. I could see she was tired and her teary response to me only proved that not all was right with her but she didn’t want to give in to it. I offered to take her there myself and wait with her whilst he ate his food and she took him back out to his paddock but she was worried because it would take an hour out of my day.

Just like my daughter to be worried about the effect on others, not the least of which was her mum. My response to her was that I’d rather spend an hour taking her to where she needed to be, than spend hours at a hospital with her because something happened whilst she was out on the road. She ended up relenting and went to have a sleep. We planned to go later in the day once she had rested. I made a mental note of what I could do to prepare for that time out and catch up with my work later.

Our children, even when they are adults, need to know that we still have time for them. We can’t live their lives for them and nor should we be in their pockets - they are adults and need to lead their own lives. But they do need to know we are there for them still, to guide, encourage, and sometimes give a push when they need it. Just as in 31:26 the Proverbs 31 Woman speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction is on her tongue, so must we remain vigilant in this way for our sons and daughters as they become adults and continue to lead and guide them so that they can do the same for new generations that rise.
