I heard an awesome Focus on the Family this week. Dr. Dobson and some guest were talking about being "journeymates" for our children. It was excellent. They were talking about how scary just growing up can be, and if we are our children's journeymates we don't make the journey for them, but with them. I thought that was so good, because it is tempting to want to spare our children as much fear, hurt, and disappointment as possible. Instead of running interference we just need to run with them.
Then I started thinking about all of my wonderful friends that I have been blessed with. All of you know who you are and you are the ones that make leaving SC truly painful. I fear not having each of you in my daily life. I fear being lonley. I don't mean to sound down I am just trying to be real.
So, I thought about this journeymate thing again...I am asking you to be my journeymates. No...I don't expect you to go to Texas with me!! But we are blessed to have so many ways to take this journey together, email, blogs, calling plans, digital cameras and some many others including "snail mail"!
Who knows maybe we can write our own book someday!! Speaking of books I will be posting a list sometime soon of all the wonderful books and authors you have sent me so we can all share them!
