So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion..." ~Genesis 1:27,28

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.
Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!
He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. ~Psalms 127:3-5

Small Family, Big God

With four children, I consider my family small.  But, since we would welcome more children, if God wills, we have, incidentally, adopted a large family mentality without realizing it. My large-family friends probably think me a little silly when I jump into conversations about large family logistics, but they are sweet about it...  :)

I think there are many families who look like small families, but in their hearts they are much larger because they are open to more possibilities by not standing in God's way.  It is possible to be a "quiver-full" family with only one or two children, or even NONE!!  As long we are not hindering the nature of God's design.  It is a matter of the heart.

On behalf of these families I wish to thank Raising Arrows for her post titled, Adopting a Large Family Mentality When You Are a Small Family, for expressing family dynamics of a small family large-style.  Now, leave my blog and read hers for a while.
