THY WILL BE DONE!!! +JMJ+
It makes my head whirl! What do you say to a young mother of two who reads this and thinks, "How does she do it?!?!" We want many more children, but it's kind of overwhelming to think of at times.
ReplyDeleteI love this!!
ReplyDeleteDrina, I only have 5...what I tell the Mamas of 2 who have difficulty understanding how big families is that the older kiddos are SO helpful with the younger kiddos--even if it's just reading them a story to help occupy them for 10 minutes, or helping them with socks and shoes. Everyone pitches in, and that old addage "many hands make light work" really is true. The goal here is to keep everyone interested in helping to make things go smoothly...*that's* our challenge! :)
Thanks to both of you - Even when the thought of more children seems overwhelming, the thought of not having any more is so sad! In the end, we leave it to the Lord. He'll send us what blessings he wills. The name of this blog is fitting :) I hadn't seen your blog before, Laura. I look forward to checking back in!
ReplyDeleteThere's something about this photo...I can't quite put my finger on it. It really speaks to me. It makes me feel like I'm a part of the family. But what is it?
