Leonard and I were blessed with four beautiful children, three of which are still on this earth and one who has gone home in eternity. Our oldest son Aaron came out yesterday to help us with two projects. Although my husband is very capable of doing both, as he and I have both aged, it has become harder to motivate ourselves to tackle some things on our own. Some of you may understand. Later I marvelled at just how blessed we are to have adult children willing and seemingly happy to help us out.
Scripture records that children are a heritage of the Lord; the fruit of the womb is His reward. That is absolutely true which is why abortion is all the more tragic. Each life taken is a life that would have been a blessing to that parent and probably also to society. I read once that some of those children may have possessed the knowledge needed to find a cure for many cancers. Who knows? Those things to me are in the hands of God and can be accomplished through others if its His will but I understand the point the write was trying to make. Please join me in praying that our society recognizes the gift of children. I have certainly recognized it in my own.
