First it was the two of us. It didn't take long before it was the 3 of us..then 4,5,6,7,8,9, 10, and 11. Now, life has taken a change. There's only the 7 of us at home right now--but that I am sure will change!!!
Others have been added to our family circle, 3 son-in-laws, 3 grandchildren, soon - 1 daughter-in-law. Yes, there is more of us...so to speak.
But one day there will be just the two of us at home again. Gray headed, slower, but hopefully wiser...so that we will be able to encourage all the 'young men and ladies' that God has put into our lives -- our children and our children's children.
An amazing design. One generation helping the next generation. This is God's plan.
The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head. Proverbs 20:29
in.spire - (in-spir') 1:to encourage somebody to greater effort, enthusiasm, or creativity (2): to move to a particular feeling in somebody. (3):To direct or guide (4):To give or provide inspiration. [Latin - inspirare "to breathe"]

Now that's one handsome Grandpa!!
Just an ordinary woman, striving to be that "aged" woman of Titus 2..teaching the younger women good things: so that they may be sober, love their husbands, love their children, and to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands that the Word of God be not blasphemed.
