A new identity... a stay-at-home mom... out of a job... not by choice... it's just the nature of the business... the point of the parenting exercise... still... there is a void... an emptiness... that reaches beyond the vacated rooms...
Something to celebrate... a milestone... children successfully through the grades... each in college... futures unknown... full of potential... each beginning their own relationship with God: Father... Son... Spirit... a job completed... by God's grace...
A relationship interrupted... a realization from watching a favorite movie... part of the story-line focused on a childless couple... not by choice... but by fate... seeing their relationship deepen... and grow... uninterrupted by children... made me wonder... We... my spouse and I... where would we be had we not been interrupted... by the darling three...? A vision in the making... a time to continue the melding of two-to-one... before we became... three... four... five... an adventure ahead... new discoveries... to be made... with my other half...
By God's grace... I walk the walk ahead... a time to mourn... a time to rejoice... a time to anticipate... by God's grace...
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
ESV
