3 Day Quote Challenge Day #2

I am now in day 2 of the 3 Day Quote Challenge which was given to me by the writer of the very interesting blog In The Autumn Of My Life.  Go and take a visit over her way!

Rules for the challenge are as follows:

• Post 1 quote each day for 3 days.
• A theme for each day would be nice (although not necessary)
• Nominate 3 blogs to pick up the challenge and pass on…
• Let your nominees know they have been chosen.

The three blogs I nominate today are:

1. Paperpuff
2. Heartclosetblog
3. Nene’s Life

 

 Again, explaining why I chose a particular quote is not a part of the challenge but I always kind of like background on things!

When I was in high school I thought I was going to go to college and study to be a teacher. Due to the cost of college I decided I would work for a year and earn some of the tuition expense. Somewhere in that year the paycheck started to look better than the education. By the time I looked back and wondered where the time went I was married and had 3 sons.

In looking back, I do not regret missing college. I do think I would have enjoyed being a teacher but I did get to do that every day that I had my boys at home with me. There are so many life lessons to be taught when your kids are young. Those days are so important, not only for kids but for parents also and I am so grateful I got to have those days.

I really do believe I am exactly where God intended me to be at this time in my life.

I have for you…..”
