So many people claim to "trust" in God but few of them actually do. You did and God rewarded you with 5 children. The others "rewarded themselves" with careers and lives spent chasing the illusive goals of husband and children which conflicted with the career. Still others gave up. What you experienced was freedom whereas they were enslaved by the world. God bless you!

Thank you, in all fairness, I was taught to trust God, and have been ridiculously blessed as a result. The Blessed Mother is God’s example of a woman, and that is an amazing gift from God in our faith. I saw that example in my mother. Truth be told I could have easily been led in the wrong direction if it weren’t for His grace, and my Catholic upbringing. I never appreciated any of it until I had children. I grew up relatively poor (my parents married very young), but now have more than I could ever possibly need. It is almost as if God told me, “you see, all those things you dreamed of having are meaningless, without me.” It is true.
There are still too many of us who take our God given gifts, traditions, and faith for granted, so thank you for your posts, and God Bless you.
