letting your children go:)

When you first give life to a child you realize wow:)
I have so much to do for this child,
at first the task seem endless, then they become effortless,
as you watch the child grow you enjoy the first steps.
The first fall, hurts both of you the same .
When they laugh you laugh, when they weep , you do too ,as you wipe their tears,
after a few years you realize that your baby will soon be leaving you ,
you know before they do , that it's time for them to go,
Why let them go?
If you keep them with you,you will stop their growth, you will impose your future on them.
So you knowl it in you heart and you grow in excitement as you know that letting them go is the right thing to do for all involved.
so you wrap them up in a hug and you say good bye:)
as you walk away, you feel several emotions:)


pride:)
anticipation:)
a feeling of total completion:)


At this point you realize that God's plan for you was to nurture and help them grow and most of all to give them to the world so they can continue to bless the world with the gifts they acquired from you.
So as you read this , you wonder what child I am speaking about?
Well, I speak of TEC, a program which came to August by way of Seoul Korea , I began the process in a far away land ten years ago and I complete the program in Augusta. so as I watch this child move forward, I thank God for giving me the opportunity to help bring to life a great program and thank God for providing the people to continue TEC.
I can remember Fr.Bob use to call me Mama TEC, now I feel like Grandma TEC.
God Bless ,
Keep the TEC alive
pray for TEC 8 daily:)
