he is yours

My son started Kindergarten Tuesday. I can't believe how fast these last 5 years have flown by. I had 5 years to lay the foundation upon which he will build his life. I still have a lot of work to do, but I can see that the foundation is a good one. He loves God, and Jesus, and going to church. He's an extreme athlete, not much for organized teams sports, although he loves soccer. But I think that soccer was a phase simply because his cousin played it for a little while; he adores her.
He's so mature sometimes that I forget he is only 5 and I don't know how to respond when he acts differently. I need to step up to the plate and provide him a better learning environment at home so that he will be at his best school.
Lord, help me to be the best mom that he deserves. Give me wisdom to guide him to You and to know what he needs even before it shows.
You are so wonderful, Lord. I will keep my promise I made to You...He is Yours.
