Sitting here tonight in the house with my husband watching TV in the next room, and my Mom sleeping in her bedroom, I feel at peace in this quiet time. All the kids are away working or living their own lives. These are the times that I can think about how my life has changed from that young teenager long ago, to a grandmother and mother. It seems like yesterday I was playing basket ball with my friends and writing short stories on my back porch on a lazy summer day.
So much has changed in my life over the past 40 years. I accepted Jesus as my savior, I got married, had children, went back to college at the age of 42, and now I'm a grandma! The Lord has blessed me so much in my life! I love Him so much and wish I could be all that I should be for Him. So many times I feel like I've failed in my role as a parent, wife and grandparent.
If you have come to this point in your life were you can look back and see all the accomplishments, and failures in your life, I hope that you have a Savior who can give you the peace, mine gives me, to forgive yourself, and to look to the future for His guidance!
We only have one life to live in this world. And in this quiet time, I'm glad to know that God has given me the best life I ever could have hoped for!
