I have tried to live in many ways, a similiar walk to what you have so eloquently described here. Now I see my beautiful grown daughter, ages 24, 19 and 17, living lives full of intent not by choice so much as by not knowing there is any other way to live.<br /><br />I think above all, I have learned what a gift it is to give this to your children. Of course with our youngers, we don't see it yet in the same way, but now, at least, I am confident that we will.<br /><br />Now, instead of hoping that the experiment will work, I thank God daily for the grace He has given me, and look forward to what the next ten years will bring.<br /><br />My mission in life has become, since I have seen the result of choosing this path, has been to encourage mothers to continue to walk that narrow path which so often feels like swimming up stream. It's easy to get discouraged sometimes, particularly when confronted with criticism and sometimes even when children behave in a child like manner.<br /><br />blessings, PMPracticing Mammalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274507983353868813noreply@blogger.com
