Each of us is the owner of many keys (literally) and among them is the
key to our lives. With these keys in our own hands, we decide/determine which
door to open and which door to lock. Luckily, many of us are more
than capable of handling our own keys of lives.
However, that is not the case with our children. At the beginning, we resolved for them which door to enter or not. With much love and examples, we are enhancing their ability to choose and manage their keys of lives. With the hope that someday, they would be able to take charge of their own keys-- they would be the ultimate owner of their own keys of lives.

Food for thought: As the Key Holders of our next generation's, our jobs are not merely the Key Holders, we are the ultimate holders of their faiths.
Hope you enjoy this stop visiting the Key Holders ...
Until next stop,

This is an interesting take on keys!! I like the idea of the next generation, our children, holding the keys to the future. Awesome write!

Thank you, Kathy.
DeleteLoved the post Angela--a different perspective--and a refreshing one. So much to think about when we show our children how to handle their own keys!!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Jenn
I think I saw couple gray hairs from thinking about this post :-)
DeleteI really wish I could always hold the key for my children; this world has become far too complicated for me to feel safe handing over those keys!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand what you meant ...Totally!
DeleteLove your take on the keys photo. What a great idea to think of the next generation. I don't have children, but as a former teacher, I can really appreciate the need for us to help future generations handle their own keys.
ReplyDeleteYeah ...my girls are always on my thoughts.
DeleteWhat a wonderful post! I have no doubt the kids will be ready for their keys when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers, Winnie!
DeleteAnd that is the true journey of life. We all have many hats that we have to wear so well! THanks for sharing these thoughts with us.
ReplyDeleteYou have just completed my incomplete conclusion. Thank you. I am so tempted to update my blog and put in that sentence, "And that is the *true* Journey of Life."
DeleteMy kids are so different from each other. They handle the same key in completely different ways. Sometimes handing them the keys and allowing them to find and open the locks are great blessings. Sometimes we as parents need to have the faith that they will handle those keys well. Nicely written and enjoyed your take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteThank you Suzy. Agree that we need to let them handle their own keys and have faith in them.
