The moving definitely took its toll on me, but one thing I gained was an acute sensitivity to the fact that God alone is stable. Not a bad lesson to learn.klhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07016445412762379421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344296417215561454.post-44474124932619453332010-04-30T20:07:37.582-05:002010-04-30T20:07:37.582-05:00After the appointment was "official," my...After the appointment was "official," my husband and I took our children to let them see their new neighborhood, school, public library, pool, recreation sites, etc. Then we'd have lunch at a local favorite spot. <br /><br />Our son and daughter were involved in the entire packing and moving process. We all packed a travel bag for clothes and necessities (kind of like going on vacation) for the last few days before the move. Then we exited the parsonage ahead of schedule, spent a couple of nights in a hotel where the kids got to have friends spend the night, swim, play video games, and have a nice send-off.<br /><br />Now our kids are in the their late 20s, active in their local UMCs, have professional careers, and LOVE telling moving, parsonage, and church stories at family gatherings! It was tough, moving and starting over, but it was worth it! I think they would tell you the same thing.Sister3https://www.blogger.com/profile/15416758098034742894noreply@blogger.com
