A couple of weeks ago, while at David's parents, I offered to watch David's nieces while Lisa was in town helping her parents with some business matters. Lisa responded that she didn't want me to "feel stuck" while she did more important things. I appreciated her consideration and I've thought a lot about our conversation.
There are many people in each of our lives who enable us to do what we do. When I worked as a nurse, I was sincerely thankful for each of the nursing assistants that worked on my shift because they made my job so much easier. Later as an administrator of a cancer center, I simply couldn't have run it without a physician, office manager, or techs. And the physicist, who rarely made his presence known, was vital to the accurate treatment of radiation. And how about the janitor? In fact, looking back, while I was the "face," so to speak, I was really the most dispensable.
Fast forward over a decade. My life has changed drastically. I have no "glamorous" job and my salary is paid by hugs and sticky kisses. But the opportunity to mold these precious boys into Godly men and husbands-to-be is not a responsibility that I take lightly. And David makes it possible for me to be here...doing what I do...I pray for the glory of God.
No matter our journey, there are others who make our "jobs" possible. Take time to say thanks.

I liked thinking about all the people who have helped or are helping me now in my job as mom.
Anxious to see your trip pics when things settle down.
If you scroll to the bottom of my blog, you should see the playlist there. I've wondered if the music was annoying to some and have considered removing it but I get more positive than negative comments about it and decided everyone has a mute button...right? :-) Enjoy!
I am sure you will do a wonderful job with homeschooling. Homeschooling takes a lot of orginzation, the one of many things I lack.
Thank you again, and God bless you!
