'This is the perfect time to invest even more in your own spiritual growth and time with the Lord!' - Chris Adams
I remember when we adopted twin baby girls that the thought of an empty nest was nowhere on my radar. At this point, I’ve been an empty nester longer than I had children under the roof! How is that even possible? No doubt, many of you can identify with me on this.
I never really thought about it until it happened. About the time my twins graduated high school, my career, a God-calling in women’s ministry, jumped from a church to a denominational position, and I entered a huge learning curve in so many ways. Then I was too busy to really think about it much.
Another friend said something similar: “My whole focus was on the kids, and I felt abandoned and lonely and felt like they didn’t need me anymore. You just have to redefine yourself and your relationship with them. It does give you time to take a deeper spiritual journey. And Christian friendships help.
Find ways to invest in your own grandchildren. I was working full time which involved a great deal of travel when I became a first-time Mimi, so I was not able to be an “on-call” grandmother much when my grands were young. In this season of retirement, I have made a point to have weekly FaceTime chats with many of my grands so that I can stay in touch, pray with them over our chat and during the week as I know what they need. I always try to include some short spiritual nugget as we talk.
