Today was a wonderful time of experiencing God's creation... and doing so while riding 4-wheelers. Me and my three kids road through the mountains of Southeast KY for several hours. I am extremely proud of my oldest son. Today was really his first time trail riding and he did great! As I rode behind him I realized that he was doing this completely on his own... There was nothing I could do (or very little other than to yell instructions to him) to protect him.
My devotional reading today took me to Genesis, chapter 2. I read of God's creation. God created the heaven's and the earth; He created man and woman; He gave them everything they needed, but then He allowed them to "rule over the earth." To some extent God gave them the freedom to live their lives.
Now as a parent and allowing my children to live their lives... a part of this means that I let them make their own choices and I can't always protect them. God also allows me to make choices and He doesn't always protect me from them.
