My thoughts

As I reflect on the months past since I last wrote, I find many conflicting feelings and emotions. I also find (as usual) many events of interest and a few moments of peace........ we saw our daughter and niece get married, our son and another daughter end marriages, many many changes for the better in our children and some changes for worse........ it is difficult at best to maintain close personal relationships with all our children, grandchildren, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews............ it seems that whoever is having the biggest moment (whether good or bad) gets the attention. I suppose that is the best I can hope for... at some level it now becomes the responsiblity of our adult children to maintain contact with us. Gone are the days of mommy and daddy chasing them down..... if they want a relationship..... they must put forth the effort...... it hurts to know that some will not maintain a relationship...... and I gather that as they cycles of life come and go different ones will be around at different times..... at least I certainly hope so...... I love each of them for the unique qualities and characteristics that they posses and how those enrich my life..... May God continue to work in each of our lives to bring us to His honor and His glory........much prayer and supplication and reading of Scripture will be needed............ I love you all...
