I am reminded of this verse, from Psalm 127, often (especially now that we’re expecting our 4th child or if I mention that we may not even be done having kids) We get lots of: “y’all are crazy”, “was it an accident”, “what are y’all thinking”, etc….
“Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift?
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy?
Like a warrior’s fistful of arrows
are the children of a vigorous youth.
Oh, how blessed are you parents,
with your quivers full of children!
Your enemies don’t stand a chance against you;
you’ll sweep them right off your doorstep.”
I also read this verse on the days when things are hectic, the kids are all whiny, Mommy is near tears, etc… Thank you God for my beautiful, healthy, happy children!
