I thought raising 5 little children and then 6 teenagers required flexibility, but Grandma-life is challenging me in new ways. For years I was simply home everyday, available for all my family’s needs. Then slowly life changed and now I travel farther and stay away longer than I ever imagined!
I’m enjoying this new phase God has brought us. After 35 years, my husband and I are still learning new skills. We run a business “together” and travel to family as we are needed. They’re all such blessings… especially the grandbabies! Even helping my in-laws a couple of times a month on their “farm” has been fun and surprisingly relaxing.
Recently over a 10 day span, we drove to 3 different states, slept in 8 different beds while visiting lots of family. As we rode some 1200 miles, talking and working, I was so thankful that we get along and still love each other so much.
Sometimes we’ve felt a tad betwixed and between -as my mom used to say. When to leave home? How long to stay away? Yet because God is the One sending us out and calling us back – it’s ok. Amazingly, He still finds us useful for His plans, and we are so grateful 🙌🏽 May we continue to bring Him the Glory! -Anna
