I didn't know you had a blog! I...Hey Gretchen,<br />I didn't know you had a blog! I saw it on facebook and had to check it out! I started blogging as my family scrapbook! I wish I had started when my boys are as young as your kiddos! I can't wait to print mine into a book. That is one of my Christmas presents!<br /><br />Let me tell you, yes staying at home is hard! However, even on those extremely trying days it is a blessing! I stayed home with my boys for 8 years, and just recently work part time. Now that I am back into the working world I look back with joy! It is the best thing I have done for my boys! Hang in there! It is worth it!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118384032396970899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097402489822771897.post-7513081341615663762009-11-02T17:05:15.048-06:002009-11-02T17:05:15.048-06:00I keep meaning to write and tell you that I really...I keep meaning to write and tell you that I really liked your words on this subject. It keeps popping into my head even weeks after I read it. There are so many days I think I can't do it any more, and it is only by God's grace that I do keep doing it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!Routine Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264100973893943436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097402489822771897.post-81314422794323675982009-10-19T00:44:52.843-05:002009-10-19T00:44:52.843-05:00High five, Sistah!!!High five, Sistah!!!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15611462778806889465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097402489822771897.post-11171221160907381962009-10-16T20:38:45.241-05:002009-10-16T20:38:45.241-05:00It is SUCH a hard job!!

THey CAN'T survive wihtout you and they need your for their EVERY need. <br /><br />BUT, I can't imagine missing the little things and the joy and love OH the LOVE you get to experience!<br /><br />I HEAR That once the toddler years are over you do get some time to yourself again :) New challenges yes, but not as physically challenging! Of course I probably won't be there for like 10 more years so I better get geared up for lots of serving :)Smits Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02010762622272217898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1097402489822771897.post-2830207841822999242009-10-16T09:39:04.255-05:002009-10-16T09:39:04.255-05:00What Awesome perspective Gretchen!!!

I get frustrated when people say they CAN'T stay at home--almost like their decision to go back to work was made out of fear (unless the reasons were financial, which I completely understand!). No decision should ever be made out of fear. I agree that staying at home is a calling, just like I believe work should be a calling. <br /><br />And you're right--without God's grace, we couldn't do it!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380315852168531986noreply@blogger.com
