And the fall parties use up the moms' patience...I've noticed that about McD's...walking with Him does require some pretty incredible bravery...LOL about the flossing! I'm sorry to admit that I've learned that fact as well!...hope you and your family are healthy or get that way real soon...you are a true believer...i wouldn't dare...i'll pray for you - regarding parenting AND the mission team...maybe we should meet at Bread Co. sometime...maybe next time you're running to Wal Mart! You are a blessing to me, my friend!
I was just playing catchup on reading your blog, and I have one question: When did I start emulating my daughter instead of her emulating me? You are so introspective. And with such a sense of humor!You make me think and reevaluate my own spiritual life--guess I will never stop learning. I would not want you to ever be any different than who and whose you are. You are so special to me and I know to many others who call you friend, sister, leader, mother and wife (and all your other titles). I love you very much and admire you as a woman, a friend and the mother you are. You are my blessing!
Lisa - The fall parties were just daunting chaos - but so much fun! And we definitely deserve some Bread Co. time. I think we could have some great conversation, my friend!
Anonymous (MOM!) - You're the best mom in the whole world and if I can just do half as good a job as you did, I'll be blessed. See you soon!
