Raising a son is a lot like growing a garden. There’s a lot of strategy and decision making involved– where to plant your garden and what seeds to put in the ground. There’s grunt work– cultivating, planting, and building a fence. There’s waiting and watering daily, and dealing with unknowns like weather. There’s the stress of predators, and the joy of watching new growth. Even with all that work, in the end, in both gardening and parenting, the results are still completely out of our control. As parents, we have two choices. We can fear that lack of control, and exhaust ourselves trying to do everything right. Or, we can do our best, and trust that it’s God who ultimately helps our son grow and bloom. For more ideas on raising boys to be godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
