Today, I pray for my son, and for all moms praying for their sons.  It is a special thing, when I hear another mom talk about her son.  Mine is beginning his last year of high school, and my prayer is simple and direct.  I pray for safety always, and for God’s guidance in those small but impactful decisions he will begin to make this year, and to finish school strong.
