That is such a wonderful thing. I love children as well, I have my own but I am open to being a foster parent and\or adopting as well. Children are such a blessing.

I've thought about it a bit, and I hope this makes sense, but it really comes down to me leaving more behind than I have taken. Leave more love than I took - and I took a lot of love! Leave the environment better than I brought it -- got a bit of work there! So forth.

I love all of the posts you ladies have written! To me, I think God expects me to make him first in all areas of my life, to serve him and follow his teachings daily. I also feel like I need to let go of my dependancy upon material items/possessions and depend on him more, I struggle with this one alot! In everything I do, I try to show the love of Christ with others. And I am also trying to show the love of Christ by becoming less judgemental of others, which can be hard sometimes. Lately I have felt God calling me to go on a missions trip, I was planning on going on one to Africa the year my son was born, but the trip was planned for the week I was due, so it did not work out then, but I am going to try to go on the next one.

That is a very good philosphy.

Loving and caring for those things/people that he has entrusted us with is an outward expression of our thankulful to him.
