(besides the house we used to live in?) This is such an insightful post, btw.Heidi Ashworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276520679409069559.post-81893078711044292772009-01-20T14:22:00.000-07:002009-01-20T14:22:00.000-07:00This post hits home because I think of that all th...This post hits home because I think of that all the time. Whenever I start to get down about having to deal with our four kids by myself, traveling and pushing them through airports I'll think of the pioneer women who had to cross the plains on their own with their children and it suddenly makes it all seem so much easier. But it also gives me strength because I know if my ancestors could do it to make a better life for their families then I can do it too.Ondriahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11921252846630488541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276520679409069559.post-68124930312247143492009-01-20T12:54:00.000-07:002009-01-20T12:54:00.000-07:00I think like that all the time.

I often think of the faith it would have taken to pack up a home , say goodbye to family and go into unknown territory and what s more the faith to KEEP going when children were lost.

Glad you are home though. I am going to Denver next week but we will be flying. I wish it were closer as I can't afford to fly everytime I would like to go there and I know it is a very, long drive!
