| Nathan .. age 15 |
Every part of life is a season. I think the empty nest phase would be quite .. well empty without our special needs son. So thankful God knew we needed him before he was born. Even with all of his challenges, life adds a richness that would be lacking without him.
In God's infinite wisdom .. He has blessed us and given us reason to have joy as we enter the golden stage of life.
What a lovely post.

Dear Mrs. Mac,
ReplyDeleteYou are putting it all so wisely and correct.
God knows our needs long before we realize them ourselves.
Nathan's important place on earth cannot be filled by anybody else.
The Lord sent him and he became your lifelong blessing.
I wish this blog could be broadcast all over the world; it's so important.
Blessed be your days, now and forever.

Dearest Daughter - you continue to amaze me with your thoughtful vision as to why God put you on this earth. Of course, it was to be a mother to Nathan. Your dad and I are so proud of you and the beautiful mother you are to all of your children. God blessed me with you so many years ago and I treasure every day I've had with you. Love you honey
ReplyDeleteYou are a wise woman! I too have had days when I thought the empty nest would be grand...but having experienced a bit of it I am very thankful for the blessing of family who have needed my home as a respite and for my grand who comes and goes with abandon and keeps us smiling and young. God is so good to know what we have need of even before we ask!
