You are such a sweet sister in the Lord. Thank you! BTW, I LOVE that marker idea! What a fun thing for your husband to do. I'm so glad your son likes being with his parents. Isn't it great? BTW, you bless me too!
ReplyDeleteThank you my friend.
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteSisters in the Lord like you are the reason taht blogging is such a blessing in my life.
We have an opportunity to get to know one another before we meet in Heaven.
Is that cool or what?!?
I'm so glad that you've stopped by my blog and shared your heart about our children growing up. I read the post you referenced, Where Has The Time Gone?" All I can say is AMEN.
ReplyDeleteYou know, we're the same age (mid 40's), both products of the 60's and 70's. And I think we women of that generation were fed a pack of lies!!! We were told that we needed to throw off the shackles of home and children and to do something important with our lives. And now that we're in our 40's, we know what we want more than anything. It's children!! It's being a mom!! If we had been brought up in another time, we would have known the importance of that all along and maybe had several more children than we did. Then our hearts wouldn't be so empty as the years go by and our children grow up.
My husband and I yearn to adopt (or have another baby since it's biologically possible---we've just battled secondary infertility for 14 years). Alot of people tell me I'm insane to want another child in my 40's---and with teenage children in the home no less. I hear all the time, "Why would you want more children? You're so close to having an empty nest. Why would you want to give that up?" I can't identify with people like that. My heart is for more children. I absolutely love being a mom!! And I know that you understand me. I SO look forward to getting to know you better.
Blessings,
Patti
P.S. I'm also really struggling with the election this morning. I can hardly believe that we have elected a man who stands for things that God abhors. May God be merciful unto us and protect us these next 4 years.
Thank you!!! I was getting discouragedb/c it seemed people only came to my blog on Monday's and Thursday's. I love to write and love encourage and I know now why I do it,for women like you. Thank you Jennifer,so much!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awards and thank you so much for sharing the love!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to acknowledge so many bloggers. And thank you for your words and for the award. I am blessed to know you enjoy my posts.
I've never passed on awards. My bad. Right about now, I'm feeling like a heel for that. I should've taken the time to pass on encouragement years ago. After all, I love to make people feel important. I guess since I haven't after 3 plus years I don't know how to start because I don't want to not acknowledge the past ones.
See my dilemma? Or maybe not. Ha.
Anyway, know I value your willingness to make others feel valued. Back at you, sister. You bless me.
God loves your heart!
Tiffany
