I am in awe, even speechless at the joy that I feel when I am able to engage my children with their children. It takes me back to the days when I was nursing, cuddling, training, encouraging, disciplining etc. our children. During this season I could not fathom what the future would hold for them or for me. It was upon my hope and my desires of them experiencing God for themselves that I prayed and I pressed on each day toward that mark. Many days I fell short of my plans and God’s plans, but His grace is good.
Today, as more than half of our ten children have left our home and have…started a career, married, started a business, had children etc. I am in awe with God. His goodness is real and promises are true. I am encouraged most often at our Sunday dinners when our children and their families come to our home and I get a glimpse of what God has done through Walter and I and what He is doing through them. We still have three boys yet to train up each day unto Him. By faith with a grateful heart I continue to submit my heart to Him as their mom and their teacher. It does not yet appear what they will be.
