I had some time to myself, in the barn, this weekend. I was looking around, and began thinking of all the dangers that lurked. Poisonous mushrooms, weed killers, fertilizers, the rat poison and knife that I keep high on a shelf. Horses. The road. You get the idea.

I've invested, probably more than the average family, on various door handle covers, cabinet locks, and medicine lock boxes. And, despite my efforts, I've called poison control, on more than one occasion.
I can't do enough, to keep my children safe, it seems. There are dangers everywhere. At the end of the day, and sometimes in between, I thank God for my children's health and safety. I pray that he keep my children safe, and that he give me the wisdom to do everything that
I can do, to protect and teach them. That is all I can do. It is the prayer I have prayed more than any other, beginning with the day I became a mom.
