I love the looks on the leaders&#8217; faces. I&#8217;m grateful for what Scouting teaches Daniel. I am thankful for men who take so much time to be with the boys and for their families who faithfully send them off to camp each month.<\/p>\n<p>Richard and I find that a common theme in our conversation lately is milestones completed. Soon Daniel won&#8217;t be going on campouts each month. Timothy completed his final Pinewood Derby. Paige is driving. College, high school, and big decisions are coming. I hope that they have enjoyed childhood. I love watching them grow, even though it means that they don&#8217;t need me as much anymore. The process of the children gaining independence doesn&#8217;t allow me to be a constant spectator, but I am here, perhaps less involved on a physical level, but more involved on a spiritual level. I&#8217;m praying for them all day long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My good friend in Sahuarita introduced me to this ribbon to keep a mother&#8217;s Scouting pins.
