Thanks for the reminder of how blessed I am to have Skip. I lost count on how many times I turn to him each day! Proverbs 31:25-28 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; You will hear your sons blessing you! Well said Rindy.

Proverbs 31:25-28
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;

You will hear your sons blessing you!

Those single parents, without a mate, without that help, and the balance during that time of raising children. I see so many anymore that are in this situation that many times my emotions are over come. I was blessed to have two parents, not the best, I was blessed to have a mate. But to be without that one to lean on or get help from! Those who stand and do the very best they can in or with this sitution is so very sad to me. I will remember all the single parents in my time of personal devotion. Mervi http://passthisway.blogspot.com/ My heart goes out to all those who labor as a single parent.

I can't imagine having to raise 1 let alone 3 children by myself. Plus working full time on top of it. There is no rest. There is no downtime. Single moms are heroes. I was in a small group years ago with a single mom and I remember her baby was colicky. One of the ladies spent a few evenings with her doing nothing else than holding a crying baby so mom could sit in another room. Her daughter is all grown up now and absolutely beautiful. Question--as a single parent, do you now get twice the pride or satisfaction or whichever when you see how cool your kids turned out because it was such a monumental feat?
