However, I do wish I had more energy for them!Katy Sammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077480412380285480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-70502406053172242072014-06-06T17:32:08.178-04:002014-06-06T17:32:08.178-04:00This was a great post.

I guess that's the lessons of humility. I'm enjoying our empty nest yet sometimes its hard to understand decisions the kids make. I remind myself that I wanted independence in my early 20s & the freedom to make my own choices. So I love my kids, pray for them & let them be free to fly or fall, knowing they're in the Lord's hands. His hands are a much better place than mine. He'll bring them to the desired haven as he's doing for me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09741063364274830167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-59756526383717179062014-06-06T10:27:41.312-04:002014-06-06T10:27:41.312-04:00I admit I need to be reminded sometimes of the joy...I admit I need to be reminded sometimes of the joys of this season. :) But yes, overall, it has some great things going for it and I am enjoying too, far more than I would have imagined.

The Lord is leading me to places that I never dreamed!

Each of us has has shared how we were so wrong about so many things in our determination to "do it right" when we were younger. Thankfully, God's sovereign grace was and is greater than our pride.Persishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17686511618515789601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1873453867984233607.post-87893627291542918802014-06-06T06:38:30.443-04:002014-06-06T06:38:30.443-04:00Love this post, Lisa!

I find as I begin to look back at things and where I am now, I see how proud I was before, and how I'm slowly (oh, so slowly!) learning. Humility lessons also come because even thought I, too, feel like I've gain perspective, others look at me now as out of touched rather than informed, and it is a humbling experience to be regarded as out of fashion! Yes, there is more grace.Kim Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636800185288441620noreply@blogger.com
