There you have it! My wonderful family!




Psalm 127:3-5


"Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
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."




I know some families have many more children than we do, but any family is a heritage from the Lord! No matter the size! Let it be known that I love this verse because it says that children at the most important thing in the world!
