They are t...Oh, don't NEVER have kids, please! They are too fun..even when they are covered in dirt or drink half a bottle of Benadryl and you have to rush them to the hospital! (Friday night for us!) It also gives you such a greater understanding of the love the Father has for us when you love your baby even before you lay eyes on it, before one smile is given and before one "I love you, Mommy" is said. It will redefine grace to you in so many ways! You love them simply because they exist and all the fun times is wonderful icing to the cake. Even the hard days are somewhat forgotten (although, hopefully, not the lessons you'll learn during those hard days). I know you work now, but I have a number of friends who thought they would work and then opted to stay home...and you know what? God blessed that decision, too, with providing with their finances. You just never know what God has in store for you. I wrestled with home-schooling or public school...and we opted for public school. But we were very, very prayerful about it and just felt that it was best for our family for now. We remain open. One thing having kids does for you is make you open to different possibilities because you just never know what those little bundles are going to throw at ya!<br /><br />As a mother of three boys, I find I'm already ahead of the "raising men" game by having such a God-fearing husband and it easily translates to him being an amazing Godly father to our kids. It is the best blessing you can ever have...a Godly husband. So don't fear! Have faith and trust in the Lord. He will provide for the gift of children that only He can give to you!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411434218648143353noreply@blogger.com
