A friend once shared a story about a gal she knew who told her kids to get ready for supper, so they went and got in their van. For lots of us right now, we spend more time in our vehicle than we do on our home furniture. Who needs frequent flyer miles, gimme some frequent driver miles!

It's hard for me to imaging a day when I'm not going to be sitting in a car rider line somewhere. But my friend and women's ministry blogger, Suzanne Chambers assures me that one day, sooner than I realize - and probably before I'm emotionally ready - it will end, and I'll have some free time.

In my podcast interview with her, Suzanne has some sage counsel for us, to help us mentally prepare for the changes yet to come, The temptation may be to relax, but soon we find ourselves saying "now what?" Just because the kids don't need your taxi services, doesn't mean they don't need you. And if you've graduated from helping with family programs at church, God has plenty of other work for you to do! So regardless of the season you're in, Suzanne has a ton of encouragement for you.
