Meet Linda Patterson. She and her husband live in Wellsboro, PA. She is a mom to three grown and married children, two of which have children of their own. She is a recently retired nurse, who is always ready to give some medical advice or a sweet word of encouragement. I know you will enjoy this interview!
*What were your favorite activities with your children?
We loved to travel with the kids, camping, playing games, reading to them
*What are YOUR personal hobbies?
Physical activity and reading
*What have you found to be the most rewarding aspect of mothering?
Watching my children become adults who love and serve the Lord, and seeing them raise their children with Godly wisdom and principles.
*What have you found to be the most challenging aspect of mothering?
Confidence in feeling like we did the right thing with specific disciplines.
*What advice would you like to share with other moms?
Seeking God's guidance everyday and loving your children....remember that they ARE children, and will not be perfect. They won't even remember what you told them yesterday!
*How do you find time to cultivate your own personal relationship with the Lord?
You have to focus on setting that time apart and making a habit even if you miss a day. Don't beat yourself up for missing it, just get back to it!
*Is there anything else about yourself that you would like to share?
Now that I'm a grandmother, it is easy to look at all the things that I wish I had done. So, I am thankful that God allowed my children to turn out well in spite of my shortcomings. God has also given me that opportunity to be a part of my grandchildren's lives and help them to learn about God.
Thanks so much, Linda. I love what you mentioned about remembering that our children are...CHILDREN! Such a simple yet important reminder!

SO good to get to know you Linda! What a great Interview!
So nice to meet you Linda! Thanks for such great wisdom. I'm glad to know that other kids forget what their mother's told them too!
Great interview Rachel!
