My daughter started kindergarten today. There was both excitement and nervousness running through my body. Thoughts of my childhood brought up so many fears of my own daughter's experience. I pray that the good Lord blesses her with a far better childhood than I lived. I pray that no one relentlessly teases her, that she will have good clothes to wear, that I do a good job of teaching her how to take care of herself, and that I can protect her from all the things that caused me so much pain. God willing, she will never know the pains of growing up like I did. My prayer tonight is this: May God bless us in all the ways that we need, not desire. May we find fulfillment in how he blesses us, not long for the unnecessary. Please take time tonight and thank God for your unanswered prayers, for you know not what his will is in each of those or what he has in store for you.
