What kind of woman?
When I am past my child-raising years, what kind of woman do I want to be? One who stays connected. Who doesn't judge. Who doesn't allow generational gaps and glaring differences to define my borders. Who is always ready to share a laugh. Who has read the latest good book and enjoys discussing it with others. Who reaches out to mothers and young children long after mine are grown. Who remembers that God has purpose and plans for us, regardless of the season we are in. Who keeps on growing and exploring and who never stops reaching out.

Me too. I hope to think beyond my own little world. Still so much growing up I need to do. Thank goodness for grace.
I'm there, Ju, and grapling with these issues. I go around grinning at babies and asking complete strangers if I can have a "grandma fix". Children are wonderful. I especially enjoyed my 2 year old Sunday "class". Empty nest years are challenging. You're on target! Love you.
