I played for a concert recently in which a children's choir brought such sweet melody to one of the selections. It made me think of how lovely it would be to hear the happy voices of little children in our home. I picture us gathered in the living room each evening for a time of family worship. (My family did this sporadically when I was young, but I dearly hope you will make this a priority, for it is such a wonderful opportunity for our family to grow spiritually together.) We could read a portion of Scripture, work on a children's catechism, and have a season of singing and prayer before the little ones go to sleep. Will our schedule permit this? Perhaps not as specifically as I envision it, but surely we will make some kind of intentional plan that works for our family.
I've always imagined having a large family. How many children will God give us? I wonder if He will grow our family through other means, such as adoption (what a wonderful and touching picture of the gospel adoption is!). Whatever the case may be, I know the Lord will enlarge my heart to love every life He has ordained for me to nurture.
Waiting,
Me
