With a growing family, one is often asked, "How do you do it all", or "how are you going to do it all". Well, Friends, here is a beautiful picture I captured this morning. We have not perfected this but it was my first glance at seeing the three Giddens' chillins' in joint task. Actually, Luke just likes to be right in the middle of whatever Abigail and Nathan are doing, but you get the point.
So, this is how it is, I don't do it all. I learned very early from very wise women that it is good for a mother to teach her children how to be self-sufficient. Besides teaching my children of Christ, teaching them to be self-sufficient may be one of the most important things they need to learn from me. One day we will want them to get a job, mom can't go...we will hope for them a college education, mom can't go... and Lord willing, we want our boys to protect and provide for their own families and our girls to be helpers to their husbands and carers of their home and children, and no, mom and dad won't be moving in with them. So it all starts now. And with God's grace and strength, I will teach them all I know how, I will pray for them daily, and they will know that Mom loves them by it.
