I've been saying this for years, but so many Americans seem to think that we've got no choice because this is just the way it is if we want to survive financially in this world. So glad to read this!

Everyday is a challenge as to what to do with one's time. Knowing that at the end of the day that 24 hours are gone forever. When I look at my time organizers from past years I always feel both humble and frustrated. Humble because of what God has allowed me to do. Frustrated because I want to do more. But thankful because He covers me with His love. I love that, Mumsee.

And at some point, you will let others read them as they develop independence. Yes, they are your short stories. And at some point, you will let others read them as they develop independence.

Gardening for example. I used to tell people the kids were my garden. Now they tell me: When we first came we were your garden. Now we are established and, though you still need to give us a lot of care, we can be productive and help you. Wow, that is neat to hear. When the new kids arrived, a lot of things went on hold.

These are my short stories." So true. We will all leave a legacy. Some have legacies that are all material. That is nice, but it will only last as long as this world lasts. The most important legacy is that which will last for eternity. I believe that legacy can be given in many different ways and that has to be worked out by moms and dads with God's help. But knowing what is truly important has got to be the biggest part. Love that quote: “These are my poems. These are my short stories.” So true. We will all leave a legacy.
