It's the consistent comment I've received from my kids' teachers and other adults who know/knew them - that they are nice to others. :)Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583817947078375493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-57748590792423221772013-10-21T08:30:17.448-07:002013-10-21T08:30:17.448-07:00As a mother of 3 teens, I need reminders of the mo...As a mother of 3 teens, I need reminders of the most important goals in child rearing, such as what you've said in this post.<br /><br />So much emphasis is on success, as in great educations, great jobs, and great money. While I wish that for my girls, I mainly want them to be peaceful, kind, giving, and content with their choices and lives.<br /><br />I'm glad you got that bonus time with your son and his wife.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-35679896268404892022013-10-11T08:14:51.971-07:002013-10-11T08:14:51.971-07:00Hi Leah,

I know what you are feeling, I can imagine what fun you must all have had together. We lived with my parents while building our house. I don't know about my parents, but my kids want to move back in with them. They have way better food!<br /><br />I drove past my son riding his motorcycle without his helmet. I had a friend who is a cop call his cell phone and pretend to get my son in trouble. I have to give my son credit for being very respectful to the police! Sadly, my friend said he doesn't run into many teen-ager's who are polite and respectful while he is getting them in trouble. <br /><br />Enjoy the fall weekend!<br />KateAuntie Cakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16360461982253858105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-50423399532448323912013-09-23T05:05:23.727-07:002013-09-23T05:05:23.727-07:00yes...you have done well!!

As I get older (and more children leave) I am learning to love the now even when it is hard and thank God for the good, for He is always generous. <br /><br />Do you know I think of you and Sunday so often. Our kiddos are singing more and more. Often making up their own songs. Such a sweet sound to fall asleep to - my children singing about God's mercy!<br /><br />~CinnamonCinnamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641108808868060406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-72012122190037626322013-09-20T20:33:01.541-07:002013-09-20T20:33:01.541-07:00Lea, how precious you were able to open your home ...Lea, how precious you were able to open your home to them and your weren't "relieved" when they left.

Our youngest son and his wife have been living in our downstairs apartment for several months while they prepared to leave next month for a year long work/play time in New Zealand. I am already missing them so much and feeling very teary and they have not even left yet. A whole year! Seth still seems like my little boy sitting on the floor playing with all of his Legos. Oh, my how hard it is to let them go so far away! I wish your son and his wife well.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888547092318964711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5110877309836625274.post-30339964643386532082013-09-20T14:45:22.323-07:002013-09-20T14:45:22.323-07:00Oh I hear you on this one.

Our son and his family lived with us for a year following Katrina, and what a blessing that time was for us, and I believe for them as well. He is everything we prayed for and more.
