I thought about it and prayed about it. Does she need more time with me or more of the little things I can buy her if I have my "sewing money"? She needs me. I can still sew for her and her sisters and brothers and our friends but ultimately business or busy-ness can wait. I need to be available for her....for all of them.
It wasn't a difficult decision to make. I have peace in my heart after praying about this. Time. That is what they need. My time. My undivided attention. My love. :)
I am linking up to Courtney's blog for this post where she asks you to light a candle in your home and to pray for peace in your home every time you see it. If you are in need of a SUPER YUMMY candle, please check out this site by clicking on the JOY candle below. I have one burning in my kitchen right now. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful these candles are!
If you buy one you will be helping this beautiful child come HOME to her family!
Adoption Rocks and YOU can help! :)
What a beautiful post, and so true! Long ago I worked out of my home and I had to talk with customers over the phone. My children were little and I found myself losing my patience with them when they weren't quiet.
ReplyDeleteI, too, quit my job. I just felt that it was wrong to have those expectations of my children. How can a three year old be expected to be quiet and not need mommy's attention during the endless phonecalls that I had to make during my work hours.
Over those years I did manage to find some ways to make money (like extra money at Christmas time or something) that suited their needs (and mine) better. Thanks for linking up to Making Your Home Sing Monday!
