Mother's Day Surprises!

Well, guess what I had three children drop me a line on Mother's Day. That's right. We are expecting a third. Come January, we will have a newborn, a 13 mon. old, and a 3 1/2 yr old. Praise the Lord for unexpected blessings. We are so excited.

To all of you who are worried or nervous for us here are some verses for encouragement.

Psalm 127:3-5 (New King James Version)
3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,

So are the children of one’s youth.

5 Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;

They shall not be ashamed,

But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

No where in the bible does it speak of too many children being a burden, but it does speak of money as being a burden. When you look as this unexpected blessing with the world's goggles it is easy to feel sorry for us. But when you look at children the way God does. This is absolutely the coolest gift a Mother could receive.

After we lost the baby before Will, I said I would rather get an unexpecting blessing than to do something that might unknowingly cause us to lose another baby. And praise the Lord, I get to live those words.
