Tim's grandpa farmed rented land and worked in a furniture store. His grandma worked in a bag factory. And they did these jobs uncomplainingly, unto the Lord because...well, because that's what they did. And I know that in large part that because of them (and folks on my side of the family too -- like my Dad who came home from college to take care of his grandmother and worked in a tire factory) that I and now my children have so many more options.<BR/><BR/>You're right -- enjoy your sweet girl. And congratulations, Rachel, for not squandering her blessings and moving forward with her college life.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770544042606537348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991864.post-4066338203112493432007-04-27T13:27:00.000-04:002007-04-27T13:27:00.000-04:00Brown Rice.
