I also appreciated Patti's comment above...isn't it the truth? We are pushed to stretch ourselves beyond our limits, when all along our main mission field is right within the walls of our own home. So thankful for those, like you and Patti, who tell the truth and encourage the younger women to follow God's lead. :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659572515687798778.post-59070631956259759502014-09-11T11:18:12.654-05:002014-09-11T11:18:12.654-05:00God bless you, SuperLux!God bless you, SuperLux!Mrs. Laura Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17334381585683324912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659572515687798778.post-5259691036494694522014-09-11T11:06:26.606-05:002014-09-11T11:06:26.606-05:00I'll keep this in mind when the day comes.

There is so much pressure for stay at home wives/mothers to be involved in this and that.

When my children were little, there wasn't a single older woman who encouraged me to be about the serious business of raising my kids and taking care of my family. In fact, the older women in my church encouraged me to take on more and more church ministries. I lived on that hamsterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
