I think that it is so important for all women, whether married (with or without children) or single to make homes and to invest in relationships through hospitality and other time consuming but rewarding tasks. <br /><br />Now that I think about it, this is important for men, too. But women are often able to make better brownies. :)<br /><br />Thank you for all the kind comments, everyone!Erik and Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02110400543396681777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619580660850071992.post-13386418394280144112013-09-04T19:05:53.584-07:002013-09-04T19:05:53.584-07:00Also: http://getalonghome.com/2011/08/homemaking-h...Also: http://getalonghome.com/2011/08/homemaking-husband-community/#ixzz2ZJcSPRkUmichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315171438895122496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619580660850071992.post-67259755399725159822013-09-04T19:04:12.619-07:002013-09-04T19:04:12.619-07:00When I first got married I realized how much I bee...When I first got married I realized how much I been waiting to be 'a real person' in the sense of getting to know people, hospitality, reaching out etc. I regret forgetting that within my 'gift of singleness' I also had the gift of discretionary time, flexibility, fewer financial commitments. I'm thankful for the ways I did try to stretch myself and grow though! michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315171438895122496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8619580660850071992.post-81516612023466047872013-08-31T10:51:54.065-07:002013-08-31T10:51:54.065-07:00Good post, Millie.

Like you said there are different thigns you can do in each life stage.

I became quite contented with the single life after that, and took the opportunities to do the things I was free to do...travelled on a short term mission trip, used the money I earned in ways that were important to me, went to concerts whenever I wanted to, took courses I was interested in... Each stage of life has it's own blessings and struggles. As a married mom with 3 little ones, I find this life full of blessings too. And yet, I'm so glad I didn't wait for this stage as though it would be the fulfillment of all my dreams. (If I had, right now I'd probably be waiting for the diaper-and-midnight-waking stage to be over before I could be truly happy.) There are not many concerts, mission trips, or courses in my life now, and I'm glad I did what I did while I had the freedom. Too bad I didn't discover lipstick back then... enjoying it now though. lol<br />What a long comment. I feel so strongly about this, though.
