Sometimes you get the energy when you are older to do the things you should have done with your own children. <br /><br />God will uphold you and you will look back on these days and wonder where they went.<br /><br />Love, Cheryl and BillCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06191341916560164633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870667615287611203.post-64654049569117435512011-11-17T18:32:15.771-08:002011-11-17T18:32:15.771-08:00Amber, I remember some very wise words that you ga...Amber, I remember some very wise words that you gave me in a MOPS meeting several years ago. Words I will never forget. Gabe was 4, Owen was 2, and Eli a newborn. I walked into that meeting totally exhausted and not feeling adequate as a mother. I explained to everyone that I was so busy that I didn't even have time to sit down with Gabe when he asked to read the bible with me. I felt like I couldn't give Gabe what he needed at that time. You said to me. Kris, this is what is so great about families with multiple children. These little ones have to learn to wait, to be patient, and know that other needs come first sometimes. This was huge for me. I never had that perspective because I didn't grow up in a large family and I thought I was doing my kids a injustice by not catering to some of their needs...when in reality you showed me different. I pray these words touch your heart as much as they did mine and that as you persevere through your day, you can look back and realize what a huge difference you are making in the world. Because you are!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02183850972773528186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8870667615287611203.post-64113859137973106452011-11-16T14:48:21.639-08:002011-11-16T14:48:21.639-08:00Oh, wow, Amber.

I wrote about being desperate for our children on my blog and really it's all about being desperate for our Lord in this parenting call. Hang in there. you are making an eternal impact, my friend.Theresa Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024811456434325066noreply@blogger.com
