Even before marriage, I knew that the Lord did not want me to limit the number of children I would have. In fact, I would not have married a man who didn’t agree with that conviction. However, as the babies started coming, I succumbed too many times to the feminist ideas in which I had so thoroughly been indoctrinated and spent those precious years agonizing over the illusion that I wasn’t spending my time in a more productive way.
Shame on me. Now, those years are gone forever. My childbearing years were cut short at the age of 39 because of uterine cancer. I can’t go back and make things right. But, God has been merciful to enlighten me to my errors and sins, and has given me time, talent, and the opportunity to encourage others.
I would like to do so right now by recommending this lovely post found at The Welcome Home blog:
