So last night as I was laying in bed nursing my littlest, I just had all these thoughts and feelings about how I would feel when they are all out of the house. I was pretty sad about it. I asked my husband, "What are we going to do when they are gone?" Seriously, it will be just US! And not that that's a bad thing, but how weird is that going to be when there isn't anymore kids getting up to ask for water, or asking for help with homework, or someone to sit on the couch and cuddle with. I think what I will miss the most is all the loudness. With Mother's day just around the corner, I just want to take this time to really appreciate the Kids God has given me. I take for granted that one day they will be gone, out of my home and starting a new one of their one. I love them. And I thank God for them. But I am NOT looking forward to being an empty nester! I guess that's why God gives us grandchildren?
He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the LORD!
(Psalms 113:9 Holy Bible ESV)
