Teaching Sunday school and ministering to the kids at Juvenile hall for years has also provided a welcome nurturing outlet for me as a single woman.<br />Thanks for sharing your heart!daspinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17110141102823810914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815832875939391208.post-40870506152553700412006-11-18T20:19:00.000-08:002006-11-18T20:19:00.000-08:00Your post spoke to the emptiness that I too experi...Your post spoke to the emptiness that I too experiece now my children have made independent lives for themselves and left me with an empty nest. In fact when my last one left, my husband also said he was done with our 39 year marriage! Like you I sought a spiritual healing knowing that is what I needed. So I turned to my church and became a volunteer in the nursery. The joy when one of those little ones recognizes me for the first time, or accomplishes a small milestone, is unbelievable. Has it taken the empty feeling away completely? No, rather it has placed a warm embrace around the empty next syndrome and allowed me to give more of myself to others. Jesus at work.<br />Great post Ms. Sue!DiDohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625184794262941660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815832875939391208.post-18578483327873963312006-11-12T20:34:00.000-08:002006-11-12T20:34:00.000-08:00Hi Sue, I love your story.

I can relate to some extent even though our child has not left the nest yet (atleast physically) I want to know the goings on in his life, but don't want to feel as if I'm prying. To some extent they leave before they are even gone. I too remember the voice of need, and thought I would never have a moment of peace. Gee, I never thought I would miss that.<br />Just know that you are loved and appreciated by all your family no matter how busy we get!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13725487899714092910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815832875939391208.post-5364347515180090072006-11-10T14:41:00.000-08:002006-11-10T14:41:00.000-08:00This is a well written piece.

My days for carting kids to practice and cheerleading, and of kids driving their own vehicles are still ahead of me, yet I know the yearning for peace and quiet and of a moment alone while shopping (for myself). In addition, I know the feeling of "more love" when it comes to the children. To see my little ones smile or giggle, brings me great joy. The children teach me new things everyday. Not just my own children, but others' as well. Our children are true gifts (although sometimes it feels like a full time job with lots of overtime and no two weeks of paid vacation). Their smiles are payment for a job well done.Nelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07167847498490048540noreply@blogger.com
