I can tell you that raising kids in 2 generations has a few blessings for Brady... but my poor Brent just gets my best try... then I learn and do better with the others... Maybe that's why God smiles special on first borns because he knows they're the "trying our best" kid...

I love your posts and I love how sweet you are. I loved what you said about hurdles and it blessed me. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts, and if you were gone, I am so glad you are back. The title of your blog just intrigued me so I just had to check it out. Not to mention you have 5 children and you like Jan Karon and of course Father Tim.

He told me that God had very special plans for her, and that He needed her to be strong. When I think of her now, I know she is flying, and I know that she lived her life with strength and courage - which gives me the strength and courage to continue leaping the hurdles in mine. Hopefully, this has also been passed down to my children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-86394637903380857962010-04-01T06:38:02.399-07:002010-04-01T06:38:02.399-07:00Lea,

I've even sat on the sidelines and cried for awhile, but with God's strength and direction He lifts us back up and moves us toward the track again.
