This is the concert my firstborn went to last night in Portland. He sent us a small video of what he saw from where he sat!!! Amazing!! I am so envious and so glad he was able to go.
He is back in his dorm room now, safe and sound from his concert adventure. I didn't sleep well last night worrying about him. He is 19 and has always made very responsible choices. But I guess when he's 60 and I am 88, I will still worry.
I guess that is what comes with the territory, being a Mom. It changes you forever. The world suddenly becomes a very scary place. Its a completely innate instinct, like a mother bear protecting her cubs......except that I wonder if the mother bear stops worrying about her cubs when they are grown and gone? She gives them roots and wings and sends them on their way to be adults? She never has a sleepless night wondering if they caught enough salmon that day?? If they are in a safe den for hibernation??? If they have eaten enough to last for the winter???
I don't know. But I do know that us mothers, of the human-kind, carry our cub's hearts forever inside our own......It never shuts off or mellows.....We wonder if our cubs are safe, healthy, full and happy....... I guess this is how God intended and really how He loves us......He is always there, to provide for our every need.....our safety, our health, our full bellies and even our joy!!
So as I sit here, I have two cubs, sound asleep and safe in their beds.......I am worried about my third cub, my firstborn cub......but I am reassured knowing he is in his Father's loving care tonight......and He is looking after him tonight...
So maybe, just maybe, I can actually get some sleep!
