Personal Devotions

You know you're not single anymore...when your son tells you he wants to start reading the Bible and having devotions by himself...You've had nightly Bible readings with him for about six months almost without fail and you've encouraged him how to study and read the Bible for himself... He still says devotion time has been one of his favorite times with you but he's yearning to grow in his personal faith...You've been looking forward to this day as he takes ownership in his own prayers and readings, although you also recognize that the ways of the child are slipping away as he embraces a young adult mentality...You also know your role will continue to change as he develops more cognitively, emotionally, and spiritually.
