		<description>And grandchildren are an equal blessing. We recently had four of our five grandchildren, ranging from ages 6 go 11, with us while they attended a week of Child Evangelism Fellowship day camp. We comforted them when they got homesick, fed them when they got hungry, read bedtime stories and played noard games. What a privilege and a blessing!;</description>

		<description>My oldest child is forty four, the second is forty and my baby is thirty.  Reading what you wrote brings the past instantly to the present, together with joys and regrets.  I was glad you did not paint everything just rosy; how we wish but that is not reality.  Children more than anyone teach us to pray; in time we pray with optomism, hope and a surety that only a growing rest and trust in God brings.

God bless and keep you and yours.

		<description>Amen, amen &amp; amen sister. I can so relate to you. I have two teenagers and know exactly how you feel. Having the privilege of raising them is both exhilarating and exhausting (at the same time). Without the Fathers mercy and grace, it would seem an impossible task. Thanks for sharing your heart with me.</description>

		<description>Oh, Diane, I remember those days. I remember when our two sons decided to move to St. John&#039;s Island, not knowing anyone. Oh, how scary that was...for me! They&#039;re now 40 and 36. Wow! And I still question my imperfections and thank God that He always covers them. I&#039;m sure you&#039;re very proud of your boys. Be blessed...</description>
