Children are a blessing!

In Neil Postman's book, The Disappearance of Childhood, he writes, "Our children are the living messages we send to a time we will not see."
Our church service today was about how children are a blessing and a reward. I totally agree. Colton is such a blessing to Rob and I. We couldn't imagine how our life would be without him. You never think you can love someone or something so much until you have children. And it's hard to believe that God loves us even more than that. That is so awesome!

This is part of an e-mail that was sent to me from TCC:

When you are tempted to doubt God's love, remember the cross of Jesus Christ. It was directly in response to man's moral and spiritual failure that God chose to demonstrate His greatest display of love... the Cross.

So, when your children fail, and they will, consider them a blessing, because your abiding love for them serves to remind you that God's love for you never falters, despite your failure.

In this study today we learned that you reap what you sow in childbearing. As a parent if you're not taking your responsibility seriously according to Proverbs 17:25 it can be more of a curse than a blessing not only to you but society as well. I pray everyday that Rob and I look to God's guidance in raising our son.
