A Blessing
She understands something that I've come to learn by experience. A lot of joy can come from being in a large family.
Solomon has been called the wisest man who ever lived. Listen to what he had to say about a large family. "Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them."
My wife, Barbara, and I have six children - a pretty large quiver by today's standards. But do you know what? Very few people act like we've been blessed. They seem to think children are a problem to be handled, rather than a blessing to be enjoyed.
One final thought. Have you and your mate prayed about the size of your family? If God wants to bless you with many children, will you be willing to accept this wonderful gift?
