My good friends just had their fifth baby, and she is adorable. Recently, my buddy made a post about children and his perspective on them from the Bible. I love it. We should be on the offensive and children are like arrows. Offensive weapons to be used against our enemy. Powerful.
Babies make me very excited, but childbirth does not. Stupid Fall. Can you imagine a world without painful childbirth? It would be amazing! There would probably me wayyyyyy more babies too! But now, we are forced to contend with people wearing Black Label scrubs and others, while they shoot you up with an epidermal. Not a pleasant thought. It makes me think twice, but the thought of creating a life and being a parent far outweighs the pain. So, I go to sites like this one and brush up how to have solid pregnancy nutrition and other helpful tidbits.
Having a baby is a miracle. To think of a new life that comes out of you is enough to melt anyone’s heart. More than anything else, I am amazed at what can be learned in our relationship with the Father by becoming parents of our own. He is our daddy, our abba. And he loves us as his children.
