I have to watch myself because I also get sad when people take their husbands for granted, as marriage and children is something I greatly desire.<BR/><BR/>What a nice blessing for those ladies, and good practice for you! :)<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>LeighLeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10320332958715069592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627702534664107933.post-8954471196825301842007-10-23T11:48:00.000-05:002007-10-23T11:48:00.000-05:00Thanks for your comment, Amanda, and I hope that G...Thanks for your comment, Amanda, and I hope that God will bless your family with a larger income.

I dreamt of being a stay-at-home mom, but reality and our ideals are not the same always. My baby is almost three months old now, and the thought of going back to work tears at my heart. Until my husband finds a better paying job, however, we are facing the reality that I will need to provide a supplementary, part-time income in order for us to break even. I guess that what I am trying to say is that not everyone is able to live on one income at all times in their lives. Certainly providing our children with a secure life - by which I mean their basic needs are met, I think that it is more important that the mother be home than to have new clothes, fancy cars, and other frills - is more important than having their mother home. Only the parents themselves can determine what path their family must follow at any given time, however.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950838179138550236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627702534664107933.post-46816785600232738662007-10-18T13:52:00.000-05:002007-10-18T13:52:00.000-05:00It is tough when we make an intentional decision -...It is tough when we make an intentional decision - we make it because we thought about it and think it's right. But not everyone will come to the same conclusion, and some won't even think about it at all, just do what everyone else seems to be doing. <BR/>I hope you find a way to bless these moms and show them grace, too. I also hope that YOU are blessed in the giving.Bobbie-Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291429607453490640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627702534664107933.post-90248694297816974292007-10-18T00:08:00.000-05:002007-10-18T00:08:00.000-05:00Grace is so important in these matters.

But then I remember, if not for the free gift of God's grace and mercy, who knows where I would be today. <BR/> blessings, <BR/> Lauren ChristineLauren Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14210628145740240851noreply@blogger.com
