You are the trip I did not take;
You are the pearls I cannot buy;
You are my blue Italian lake;
You are my piece of foreign sky.
Anne Campbell
22 years ago I made a very conscious choice. I chose motherhood. I chose to give up, for a time, travel, jewels and even well fitting clothing.
But I chose something of more worth, I chose the very thing that God gave me time for, I chose my children. And it has repaid me a hundred times over as I have continued to mother in a conscious manner - not perfectly, but to the best of my ability.
I can see heaven through my children's eyes, not just a foreign sky or my own reflection in a blue lake.
