One of the things that comes with having a large family is you master the art of juggling. We are blessed with wonderful friends that so generously step up to the plate and offer to make the juggling a little easier. What a blessing you are. <\/p>\n

I will never forget my friend, Ruth, who insisted on taking all the boys and giving me time to just be. This was a few years ago, when they were still young. She grew up in a very large family and was not overwhelmed by having the boys. It was such a gift.
The boys had a great time and I found out what a grocery shopping was like alone!<\/p>\n

I have girlfriends that are so willing to take Josh so I can go to an appointment. Or keep the boys so Sanj and I can get away.
It is such a gift! <\/p>\n

Last school year there was a lady that was teaching or something at Rhema … yet her children were gone. She said “pick a day and let me bring your children home. I have an empty vehicle.” WOW! I was so touched. We can never car pool… etc… and I really don’t mind the pick up… but to have the option and luxury to not leave the house? It was fabulous.<\/p>\n

This week was the Y sign up for swimming. My friend Janice was in line at 6:45 A.M. to sign up for swimming to get the coveted time slots… she signed by my children too. Not only does this but she takes my 2 that are in swimming from school and takes them with her son for their lessons. This allows me to just come pick them up. This allows for the other 4 boys to not have to be rushed and waiting an hour and bit…<\/p>\n

What a blessing. I am so appreciative of the thoughtfulness of people… of my friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
