Children are a blessing. Psalms 127: 3-5 says that
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
Thus, children are clearly a reward. We believe that every child is a blessing, and a wonderful addition to our family. We strive to celebrate them and raise them up in the way they should go.
While the world thinks that we’re crazy, or perfect, or have the patience of a saint, we’re just everyday parents who work hard to raise the next generation into the people God intends for them to be.
