I will have kids at home until I'm old...if God chooses to give me more years.<br /><br />But "now" when I think to complain I just think of my sweet bloggy/facebook/adoptive mother of children from Liberia (like mine)friend who was just killed in a car accident this weekend. She left behind her husband and 15 children. I will never look at life the same. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />ConnieIntentional Living Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865476434729958056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790575783281900923.post-4551048154306227312014-07-01T14:32:40.481-05:002014-07-01T14:32:40.481-05:00OH my sweet girl. I FEEL YOUR PAIN! You should g...OH my sweet girl. I FEEL YOUR PAIN! You should go read my blog post for today . . . we are both in the same boat. I know exactly how you feel. I am 45 days away from being a true empty nester, and my 50th birthday is next week. And I ask myself the same question . . . what do I do now?? So if you have any words of wisdom, please share. I too had grand plans when my kids were young. The old when-my-kids-are-grown-I-will . . . . Well, now my kids are grown, and my plans . . . uh, I don't have any. I know that God has a plan for BOTH OF US. And we need to focus on that.

You ha...Carrie...did you write this post or did I? You have summed up my life, my feelings and my heart so VERY well. I do believe we are kindred spirits.<br />Face time is my best friend right now for the same reason. I sing, make faces and have a blast with my grandchildren every day on that iPad or phone. Our son in Japan FaceTimes weekly. It is such a HUGE blessing to be able to see their faces while we talk. And it's free. Hubby definitely likes that.<br /><br />I'm still trying to find my place in the world after children. I do lots of charitable work, keep busy with the church, but there is still a hole in my life that my children's needs and education filled. However, I celebrate the fct that they all love God, have great careers and are happy in their lives. And they still love Dad and Mom. In this world of dysfunction that is a huge reason the celebrate.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.com
