I haven't had the time. We have 6 kids and we homeschool. For some reason, I checked my bookmarks and there you were and I'm so glad. I've been feeling alone and so very tired. I needed to read this and I thank you so very much. God bless you and keep you.

I love reading ...Ah, so beautiful my sweet friend! I love reading your heart here, and I can hear your voice saying it!! I love your perspective; when kids start getting bigger and more independent it does get easier, but then you lose something because you don't have to serve as much anymore. My older three all make their own breakfast and lunch, and Caiden can cook dinner for me if I need it. They do their own laundry and write their own school checklists. Only SG really requires so much from me, and to be honest it was hard to go back into that role after several years! I know that your faithfulness and service is not unseen, and it really will be only a little while before you are out of this stage. I love that you can wring all the good out of it possible, and that no lesson is lost. You always encourage me. Much love to you today!! Let's talk for real soon. xoxoSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867656058895825645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33362207.post-61976343794797153812016-01-22T04:19:55.152-08:002016-01-22T04:19:55.152-08:00This beautifully expresses John 12:24: I tell you ...This beautifully expresses John 12:24: I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives. Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. Anyone who wants to serve me must follow me, because my servants must be where I am. And the Father will honor anyone who serves me. <br /><br />In denial of self, there is beauty and peace. Thank you for sharing your heart!Tara Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147516899729170614noreply@blogger.com
