Happiness and the Baby Bust

Happiness and the Baby Bust

"The truth is that years ago, before this generation of mothers was even born, our society decided where children rank in the list of important things. When abortion was legalized, we wrote it into law. Children rank way below college. Below world travel for sure. Below the ability to go out at night at your leisure. Below honing your body at the gym. Below any job you may have or hope to get. In fact, children rate below your desire to sit around and pick your toes, if that is what you want to do. Below everything. Children are the last thing you should ever spend your time doing."..



."Thus, while parenting, in itself, is a single calling (of many other
worthy callings) for Christians, it's worth considering whether the
messages we send as Christians evidence that we believe it is such. For
millennials, who are grasping for life-meaning in a decade where they
will be interpreting what holds value, parenting is a valid choice that
displays the beauty of the gospel."



Raising children is bringing up the next generations of warriors who worship at the feet of the King. What more important job could there possibly be?

Thank you so much for commenting! I love to talk to my readers.

I do ask that there be no anonymous commenters, though. If I am brave enough to put my name on this blog, you should be too:-)

Please keep it civil. Remember we are all human and make mistakes, and that since we can't see each other's faces or hear each other's tone of voice, it is very hard to get the emotion in what we are saying each other. Use lots of emoticons! :-) And show grace and love to each other.
