I know that I have done this too often. But how gracious He is to speak softly into our hearts and turn us around. <br /><br />It is encouraging to know that your heart was tuned to hear His voice. (And I'll just bet that your husband was happy to have you back at home!)<br /><br />Thank you for sharing your story.

I want to tell you I almost cried when I thought you were joining the paid work force. So happy to hear you're going to continue in the place of homemaker, and helper and friend and the calling of available Grandma...<br />Blessings, Roxy living from glory to gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123718369605106023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766013082393830178.post-24747494804556176242014-01-19T16:41:50.575-05:002014-01-19T16:41:50.575-05:00Oh man ... do I ever recognize the transition from...Oh man ... do I ever recognize the transition from employment to at home worker. I retired in 2010, and for nearly 2 years I felt something was missing in my life. It was. I loved work ~ the team aspects of it, the challenges, the sense of productivity & accomplishment, of rewards. Past tense. When I began working in present tense & future tense, I found myself enjoying adventures heretofore unknown to me. <br /><br />I love your process & the telling of it.Kathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766013082393830178.post-81137497685675314552014-01-18T23:01:34.310-05:002014-01-18T23:01:34.310-05:00Thank you for this lesson, Maryann.

However, this is the season God has me in and somewhere in this season I need to change my attitude.<br />I am glad you are enjoying the benefits as God shows you what He has for you in this season.Janettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766013082393830178.post-64250647630655224302014-01-18T12:02:10.423-05:002014-01-18T12:02:10.423-05:00If I am being honest this is a subject that I wres...If I am being honest this is a subject that I wrestle with every once in a while too. I think sometimes it would be nice to take some of the financial burden off of my hubby, no matter how slight it might be. I though, unlike you, have no skills and anything I would make really would be minimal. I have always been a stay at home mom/housewife. But I do sometimes feel a little guilty. But after praying about it I always come back to the same conclusion and that is that I am where HE wants me to be. There are some real benefits (which you mentioned) as well, so I try to focus there. My hubby NEVER seems to be in favor or it either, another important consideration. Sooo all this to say, I am glad you prayed about it, glad you are at peace about it, and glad your mind is still open to what the future might hold. Hope you enjoy your week-end!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-766013082393830178.post-8507231412899706592014-01-18T11:36:01.340-05:002014-01-18T11:36:01.340-05:00Well, good for you Mary Ann.

And, I'm sure if things change in the future you will know and have peace about that too.

I'm glad you declined and should there be a next time, you will take time to pray and really think on whether to make a move. Those activities that take up your time now are much more valuable than a outside job.<br />Well done.<br />NoreenNanaNor'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03608980502430055753noreply@blogger.com
