If you could go back in time ... what would you do differently?

Tuesday's Grand Connection Thought
by Mary May Larmoyeux

Hope that you had a wonderful Easter!

As Pops and I enjoyed watching two of our grandkids go on an Easter egg hunt, I was once again reminded of how quickly time goes by. You and I have said this many times on The Grand Connection, but it truly does seem like yesterday when we were the ones with little children.

Sometimes I wonder what I would do differently if I could somehow turn back the hands of time and be a young mother again ... knowing what has taken me decades to learn. What would I do differently?

I think I would slow down the pace of life and not be so involved in outside activities. I'd have more family nights where we just hung out together without any agenda. Maybe played a few more games or sat more on the deck as a family, watching shooting stars or fireflies light the night sky. And I'd ask more questions because I'd realize that sin is the natural bent for a child until he/she knows Jesus personally.

What about you? What would you do differently as a young mom ... knowing what you now know?

Have a great week,
Mary
