Love, Pray, Listen, then let prodigal children go

“We long for restoration of relationship. And we rely on the Father, who understands. After all, we also were wayward prodigals once, living for our whims.” – Mary DeMuth.

Unparenting children begins the first time we drop them at daycare or a playdate.  That doesn’t make letting go any easier when they are adults, until we remember that they were never ours. Children were and are God’s, writes author Mary DeMuth in her new book, Love, Pray, Listen: Parenting your Wayward Adult Kids with Joy.
