Thanks

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 "Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up. Furthermore, if two lie down together, they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone? And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart."

This portion of scripture really resonated with me when it was read in church this morning. Right now, I really see this playing out in my life as a mother. I appreciate all my diverse friends- softies to hard-nosed, structured to free-spirited, homeschooling to public schoolers, 1 kid to a whole passel- who have joined alongside of me and have helped mould me.

Thank you, friends for all you have taught me, and will continue to teach me through your blogs, conversations, emails, and time spent hanging out. Sometimes I agree wholeheartedly with you, and sometimes I don't. The bottom line- we are in this journey that God has placed us in, together. I appreciate those of you who have shared your journey with me- the ups, the downs, the twists, the turns. I learn so much from you- and for that, thank you!
