I miss those chats, as few and far in between as they were, they were always rich. Thanks for your thoughts!<br /><br />Janette - Thanks for the encouragement and for sharing the blog with your kids!

With one starting kindergarten in the fall and a 2 yr old boy who is sure he already knows more than his mommy, I frequently fight the urge the lock them safely away and preserve their beautifully delicate little hearts. It really would be easier to fight all of their battles for them than it is to stand by and watch their hearts break or their hopes dashed. Every day I realize more layers of truth to the statement that mommy-hood is the hardest job in the world but it is true too that God honors our efforts. The rewards of mommy-hood are awesomely proportional to the work we put in. Of course tomorrow I will be fighting that urge again...Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16511152296463390259noreply@blogger.com
