I got something to say

Real Family

Hello,

My wife and I decided to have more children.  I wish I would have been willing before now but anyway.  In today's society it is hard to have more children then the average two and a half kids.  Even in the church it is an underlying theme that you just don't fit in to most circles if you love kids and want to have a lot. 

    I have noticed that today's families have traded what looks like a family for the real thing.  Churches say they love kids and want a great children's program but they say nothing about families.  I cannot speak for your church or every church but all the things I have seen has been very disappointing.  We have traded raising up Godly children and sending them into the world for bible study groups that accomplish remarkably less while our kids are off with a babysitter watching a movie.  Is it wrong to watch a movie NO.  Is it wrong to go to bible study groups NO, but we have made that "it" and that isn't "it" we have missed it.  What if we didn't go to bible study group and stayed home and taught our own kids or sang songs, some poeple in church would talk to you like you are not growing and you don't care to grow, that is were we have missed it.   I am not being harsh I just want christians to see the importance of families.

Thank You and God Bless,

Jason

From what I read in your words, having more children is a very good idea. I believe you will be exactly what children need. Perhaps the reason we haven't found what we think we are seeking, is that we really aren't sure. God always answers prayers. He always gives us what we need, sometimes we just don't recognize it right away.

I understand what your saying. My gram helped raise me and I long for the comfort having children brings. I'm an only child but because of God's love, I grew up close with many 1st 2nd and 3rd cousins and it felt like such a close, big family. I want that for us. Doug and I pray that one day we will have many children.

I pray that God increases your blessings and gives you confirmation on your decisions.

I pray that we as believers change the way the world views parenthood and it's many blessings.
