I think I have mentioned to you we will celebrate our 35th one week from today, on my birthday as well. I was married on my 18th birthday (no, I didn't HAVE to, lol) and our first son came a year and a half later. Man...when I look back...we were babies!! (You couldn't have told us that then!) I cannot imagine raising them today with all of the technology begging and forcing our attention. :( I just know I would be distracted by that phone and all of its social media BLAH. I am glad I was able to be home with My Three Sons and give them the attention and love they deserved...I attribute that and the grace of God to them all serving God today. Thank you for this good word!Nannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11044616862993403785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8740287293733599611.post-51458635610819373312014-07-11T05:39:45.723-04:002014-07-11T05:39:45.723-04:00Rebekah, I just want to thank you for sharing your...Rebekah, I just want to thank you for sharing your space with me.

His dad had heart surgery this year, and Jeff has been so awesome to help him out. <br /><br />I love all 5 of your suggestions! Even though my kids are (almost) grown, they still apply.

It is totally the grace of God because I can relate to making mistakes in parenting! Thank you for sharing your journey and for encouraging us to be engaged with the Father and with our children as they grow up. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
