The thing I keep in the back of my mind is that the pagan world is not having children so it is only a matter of time before they are gone and our children remain. Now if only we can keep their hearts and send them off in the direction of Christ.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!Erika Shupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00888749387962898925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-69513689854566822602011-05-17T20:39:01.045-05:002011-05-17T20:39:01.045-05:00Awe...what a beautiful way to share the blessings ...Awe...what a beautiful way to share the blessings of what the Lord has said the fruit of the womb is a reward and children are a heritage. I feel sad for the people who have a warped perspective on the most treasured things in life (which are not things) like children who will one day take care of us in our old age if God doesn't tarry before then. I love the Duggars for having children and home schooling them on top of it , while disregarding their critics, possibly praying for them, and continuing to raise their children in the ways of the LOrd. I have a disease that causes infertility in most women who have it, so I look at all four of my children as a gift, and the two in heaven that were not born, as a treasure awaiting! Blessings to you for writing about the most important issues. .Jannette Thrasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193055385216221644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-59843580044435703302011-05-16T08:41:19.892-05:002011-05-16T08:41:19.892-05:00You are absolutely right that it is you and hubby&...You are absolutely right that it is you and hubby's choice. No one else's! And your family is awesome, so what you are doing is obviously what God has planned for you!<br /><br />I like the dressing room comment...we have a large house, but we are usually all in the same 2 rooms (living room and kitchen) anyhow. Oddly enough, we had some people tell us our house was TOO big, and we were getting too much. Did they think to ask if we truly feel that God has a reason for us having a big house? No, of course not. (We don't know what the reason is, but we both felt and do feel that He will use the extra room for something special.)<br /><br />P.S. Your daddy is a smart man. I really like his visual!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145895231380357043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-8950659629695958912011-05-16T05:46:25.167-05:002011-05-16T05:46:25.167-05:00It was so inspiring to read your blog entry!!!

Some people feel threatened if you do not fit their idea of what 'normal' is. I would like to be able to say they have well meaning intentions but most of them do not. Take if from an old lady, they do not merit a single minute of your time worrying about it. Just brush it off.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17098009840935414401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2596079868751583870.post-32750853856330292842011-05-14T00:20:55.052-05:002011-05-14T00:20:55.052-05:00When we got married: When are ya gonna have childr...When we got married: When are ya gonna have children?<br /><br />Baby #1: When (or are) ya gonna have another?<br /><br />Baby #2: You're done now, right?<br /><br />Baby #3: Um...was this planned?<br /><br />Baby #4: You know what causes that, right?<br /><br />Baby #5: You're done now, right?<br /><br />Baby #6: (silence)<br /><br />Looks like you've got at least two more to go!

I'd prefer another bedroom (or 2...) but we're doing just fine without it. It's a want, not a need.<br /><br />Keep on doing what you've been doing!
