We are in a very special church now that shares our joy with us and values our children more than our old friends did. Also, we have a small circle of friends that share our joy (and pain)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for saying what I was feeling to a great extent today.<BR/><BR/>jenjennifayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07752838622740483701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703896623316825332.post-20623899604037728422008-09-27T13:21:00.000-05:002008-09-27T13:21:00.000-05:00Interesting post.

It kinda resonated in a way with something that happens in my life, which is that because I'm even-tempered in public and I don't believe in people coddling themselves, most people <EM>tell me</EM> that I haven't got a care in the world and have never had a hard day in my life.<BR/><BR/>People don't want to know about hardship unless it's made simple, sensational and easy to fix. "Oprahfied," as you said.<BR/><BR/>And definitely there seems to be very little acceptance to this day for the more non-traditional family structures, be it fostering, adopting older children, or not having any children.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the long post, it's nice to read you again. :)Mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545512692510569390noreply@blogger.com
