Being Fruitful

This is one of my favorite books.

I'll admit that it was easy for me to read though because I've never had the problem of deciding how many children we should have or when we should stop.

Emma is my blessing!  I wouldn't trade her for a million!

So...before you roll your eyes..I just wanted to say that. :)

It is full of information that most of us probably don't know and should know if we are Christians. 

It makes you think.

After reading it I really had to do some praying seeking out God's will and not my own.  That is something I have to do on a daily basis.  It's so easy to do what "I" want to do. 

So in celebration of a dear friend & her hubby who got a little "surprise" news last week this is for them.

In the back of the book Nancy lists 100 reasons why having a big family is so great.

I'm only going to list a few of them.

I'll have more people to love.

I'll have more hands to help.

Babies teach the older children so much about caring for little ones, being kind, protective, and unselfish.

Children teach me patience.

My children think I'm beautiful no matter how I look.

More children help to grow the church.

Having children causes us to depend upon God moment by moment.

My children help me surrender the selfish desires of my flesh.

We want our children to have the riches of many relationships with brothers and sisters.  When we are no longer living, our children will have each other for encouragement, fellowship, and a sense of family.
