Brother Bowler, Thanks for your Q. As I get closer to old age (I'm 62) I find myself reflecting on my life. One of my regrets is that I used contraceptives,which seemed sensible at the time...but now breaks my heart. Ps 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. IN RETOSPECT I was a fool! I traded the Gifts of God for material security. If you are planning your family, please do not spurn any of His gifts or rewards. Hopalong |

hopalong Yes that can be regrettable. My wife and I have one child for the same reasons and now we also regret it. I am well past my child rearing years and I hope one day my only child who is what, wife and I jokingly call grown, will raise a family. To answer your question, I think we often do not want the gifts, whatever they are, of God, because as you so wisely point out, we think it will cost us more than we could afford to bear. Sometimes finacially and sometimes spiritually or emotionally. blessings abound, bowler |

Dear Bowler, thank you brother for sharing your heart with me. I pray that your child will bring fort a multitude of grand kids for the glory of God. Even though I'm a refomed Presbyterian and I strongly disagree with Catholic Church on many of their doctrines, I do commend them for standing firm against abortion and contraceptives. God Almigty has proclaimed,and in no uncertain terms ,that children are HIS gift His Reward to His beloved children. How then, can those who call themselves by His name, seek to prevent HIS precious gift from arriving? Or even being sent in the first place. I pray that our younger brethern will heed The WORD OF GOD! Ps 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. We are faithless when we fear that children may be a hindrance and a burden that may have an adverse impact on our "lifestyle". Have we been saved merely to indulge ourselves on all the world offers? God Forbid it! No, we have been saved so that we may be wedded to our glorious and magnificent bridegroom, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am writing to my younger friends, from a heart filled with love you. I am envisioning you 40 years from now.God willing, I see you surrounded by a large family sons and daughters, a host of grandchildren and great grandchildren! In that day you will rejoice with great rejoicing and Praise God for rewarding you with a strong and beautiful children. From the bottom of my heart, Hoppy |
