Wife, mother of three adult children, and non-profit organization worker, that’s me! I’m content to live in my beautiful home state after residing in various other places in this great country of ours.
I’m just muddling through this life, trying to encourage others through my experiences while plodding my way through the emotions of the empty nest now that my children are all grown and off on their own exciting life adventures.
I’m a believer in Jesus Christ, and God’s Holy Word is my guidebook for life. The scripture passage that sustains me is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to check out my blog. Come back again soon, Mama’s Empty Nest is always open for new friends and old!

Now, this IS exciting! I was over at Believe Anyway, saw an award I was curious about (maybe sorta kinda hoping I might get it one day) and it led me to another Christian sister’s blog!! Yippee–I’m so glad to meet you, Mama! I’ll come back to take more in when I’m not waiting for my laundry to finish spinning–in the meantime, you’re sure welcome to stop by my place too! For now, I wish you a wonderful day–God bless you abundantly!! sis Caddo
You’re absolutely right, this IS exciting! So happy you found me and my empty nest blog. Thank you for the lovely comments and good wishes too. I’ll be stopping by your place soon.
Hello! I have been an empty nester for quite a while.. I too am muddling through life too but God has a plan and purpose for it all and I am thankful! So nice to meet you and follow you too..
Hello Roberta! Thanks for stopping by my empty nest. leaving a comment, and following along too. Nice to ‘meet’ another empty nester. Yes, God isn’t done with us yet! He’ll help us muddle through together.
I’ve had my children out of the nest for quite a few years, but they all live and work here on our ‘ROCK’ island state. I am blessed to see 3 children and spouses and 7 grandchildren drop in during the week. Sometimes we help with pick up and afternoon or weekend care, enjoy some of their sports activities, yet always glad that God has blessed them with good homes they can return to, most of all that they all know the Lord! You have a very good blog site!
Shofar, you are so BLESSED to have all your children and grandchildren nearby so you can be a vital part of their lives weekly. How wonderful! Thank you for visiting my blog, sure hope you come back.
I see I haven’t been here since February–good grief, already!! I’m here for a quick visit, before eating a biscuit with strawberry jam (I’ll just bet they’re as hazardous as those donuts, eh?). Anyhoo–I wanted to say that I love and agree with the words of your 1 Thes verse–let’s be grateful and joyful, Amen!! God bless you–love, sis Caddo
Yummy strawberry jam…I’m sure the sugar in it isn’t good for us, but oh, those strawberries have to be nutritious. It’s okay that you haven’t visited since February. I haven’t had time to make my usual rounds of blog reading either lately, including yours, — all of these family weddings are keeping me hopping! When things calm down, I’ll be visiting you more regularly! God bless you too!
