A Prayer for the Moms of Teen Boys

APPLE PODCASTS    †     SPOTIFY 

My older son, almost 18 years old, is getting ready to head out the door for baseball practice. It’s late in the day and he’s freshly showered because they didn’t have school today. I hug him, noticing that my head is resting solidly on his chest and that his long shaggy hair is still damp. He smells like his dad’s cologne and his truck keys are hanging out of the pocket of his shorts. I squeeze him hard and he wraps his arms around me, picking me up off my feet to hug me and twirl me around the kitchen. He’s stronger than he realizes, so his hug makes me squeak, and that makes us both laugh out loud. And it’s in that moment that it happens. He crinkles up his nose as he laughs. Instantly, I’m transported from looking at my almost adult’s face to my little boy of just four years old. 

Today’s devotion and prayer is taken from Praying for Teen Boys: Partner with God for the Heart of Your Son, by Brooke McGlothlin.

Listen to today’s podcast based on Philippians 4:6-7, here!
