I knew there was something good about turning 40. hehedenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395747231190221996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643233682941179128.post-27300907815065177452008-04-30T14:57:00.000-04:002008-04-30T14:57:00.000-04:00Thanks for your comments on my recent "Time Out" p...Thanks for your comments on my recent "Time Out" post. You said you didn't know what to say... but I want you know know that its kind of nice just to see you, your boys and know you felt the same way 15+ years ago when yours were little. It encourages me because I see what fine young men your boys are now, and while you have your days I'm sure, you haven't completely lost your mind (like I feel like I'm gonna do any day now!). So it gives me hope that even though I'm sick to death of dirty diapers and temper tantrums... someday they'll be grown, and hopefully God (if not my kids) will say to me "well done, good and faithful servant" as I'm sure He'll say to you.Wanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03314255954671021901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643233682941179128.post-41213864378114844892008-04-30T11:05:00.000-04:002008-04-30T11:05:00.000-04:00grafted branch-thank you for your comments.

It's just plain hard sometimes! :-)<BR/>I also appreciate the reminder to stay involved with our little one. There is a part of me that is weary and ready to retire. However, a greater part of me is really looking forward to having just 1 student in our little school. I have the chance to look at the things I did right and the mistakes I made and try and get it "even righter" this time around!janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00253164638688753640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2643233682941179128.post-16458095175571703992008-04-29T00:21:00.000-04:002008-04-29T00:21:00.000-04:00Feeling are tough to overcome, aren't they?

Remember to "capture them to Christ," and don't grow weary of doing good. <BR/><BR/>At the risk of speaking out of turn, let me encourage you to pray for the strength and resolve to stay engaged with that last child. I know a family where the 4th child was all but forsaken as her sisters went off to college and got married. It showed in all kinds of ways, but mostly they didn't show the diligence in discernment or education they had afforded the others. <BR/><BR/>Today, they don't talk. :(Grafted Branchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13234492249971474897noreply@blogger.com
