Having children

Having children.

Having a root canal.

Pretty much one in the same.......

Both will drive you closer and more dependent on Christ for your sanity

LOL Gulp! Dare I say that I have five grown children in their teens and twenties and my love for them just grows and grows. Every stage of their life has been a joy and I can't get enough of them. My desire is to make sure each and every one makes it to heaven in the far future.

I had this talk with my 12 year old last week. I told her education, getting a good job, marriage, family, being kind etc are all important but what would make me truly joyful is her being salvation.

That definitely has NOT been my experience.

In fact, I oftentimes (including earlier today) ask my children (in a playful manner) if they're sorry for being so beautiful in that it's literally more than my heart can bear at times. I've had a lot of bad experiences in my life, but my children have been an absolute blessing (even though our relationships get momentarily fractured at times). If I could somehow turn back time and relive the times with my children when they were smaller, then I'd jump at that opportunity in a heartbeat.
