Children too are a gift from the LORD, the fruit of the womb, a reward. Psam 127:3

Human nature never ceases to amaze me. Only in an anti-life society, are we repulsed by a family that happily welcomes another baby into their fold. Only in a society that see's children as a burden instead of a blessing do we criticize instead of congratulate the gift of life that proceeds from the love between a husband and wife.

I'm speaking of the Duggar family here who recently announced that they are expecting their 19th child in March 2010. When I hear or read their name, there is usually an ugliness attached to it that rocks me to the core. We hear all this preaching about "choice", but when a married couple who takes responsiblity for their family chooses to add another child to their family, the "choice" is suddenly preposterous. God bless the Duggars for being open to life and sharing it with the world - even when the world stares at them in disgust.
