Though I only had two, I can so relate! One thing that I remember now is sometimes when I prayed for them at bedtime, or had those snatches of relational conversation, I allowed us (me and my child) to imagine them as grown up. I prayed for their adult life of faith, that they would grow up to be followers of Christ. I prayed for heir future spouse, who were likely alive at that time, that they would be in a loving family and learning to love! 🙂

I am not sure if it did them any good, but imagining my children’s lives as faithful, strong, healthy adults did wonders for my soul. It reminded me of the BIG picture, it reminded me that this was a moment of time that I would grow old enough that this stressful season would be a memory….and hey, now it is!

You are on the right track! Your family is learning about your needs too! Stay the course, you will one day see the enormous fruit of your sacrifice, dedication and reliance on God.
