Time

There is a scripture in the Bible which reads, "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven..."  (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)  What incredibly wise words!

Mom's often feel conflicted by the obligations and responsibilities they have for their children and the things they think they are missing out in the world.  No need to worry.  Right now is the time to give your children the best you have to offer.   They deserve a mom who is wholly committed to their welfare and happiness.   At this point in time, there is nothing as important as the children who put their love and trust in you.  There will be time to pursue other interests soon enough.  Children do grow up.  They do become independent.  They do leave the nest.

So, don't begrudge this stage of your life or wish you weren't stuck at home with the kids.  Enjoy it and make the most of it!  Your children will thank you  :)
