Hello everyone,
Welcome to my blog ♥️

Kjv psalm 127:3
"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him",
though beyond all reasonable doubt, they are blessings from the Lord. One of the reasons our children are given as a heritage from the Lord is so that we can know and love our heavenly Father more. Every childbirth and fertility is not about us, but about God. He is not like us or made in our image, but we are like him, made in his image. Though some might be troublesome at the initial stage, but grooming them with patience and tolerance, they become the best and the blessing they were meant to be. Then we all forget the trouble and enjoy the blessings.

Children are gift from God precisely because they are an investment. This isn't because parents should expect something in return from their children but because as one participates in raising children, it produces something of worth to God and to the society. Faithful parenting is one way God instills significance, although childrearing produces a confident legacy for faithful parenting, the joy that children bring is beyond what could be imagined despite the trouble and without them in the house, it becomes boring and quiet.

Children bring joys and challenges, and still be considered a blessing from God. Children bring immense joy and happiness, reflecting God's delight in us, they are embodiments of unconditional love, teaching us about God's unfailing love and acceptance. Raising children is one important factor that provides opportunities where we get to learn valuable lessons about faith, patience and selflessness, with the trouble it helps build resilience and strength in us.

Looking at how life is, age is just a number, it doesn't determine our level of preparedness to have children although the ideal age to have kids varies depending on various factors, such as our personal readiness, financial stability, emotional maturity, and physical health. So child bearing is not the matter of age but our level of maturity and our level of preparedness to handle the responsibility. I believe that giving birth is not a problem, but the problem arises when the child is not well cartered for or trained properly where they get to become problem to the society. So in my opinion I would say I'll have 4 kids when I am emotionally ready to take on parenting responsibilities, Be financially stable enough to support my family, be healthy both physically, mentally, and spiritually and being able to care for my child, also when I'm ready to make lifestyle adjustments and prioritize my child's needs over mine, only then could I say I'm ready to have the desired number of kids and partake of the blessings that comes with having them.

Seeing children as blessing from God doesn't mean ignoring the challenges. It's about trusting God's goodness and sovereignty in all aspects of the parenting process.

Thank you for reading to the end ♥️

I don’t think she is just a number in child bearing though
If it was they wouldn’t be campaigning so much against teenage pregnancy

It might not be exactly in child bearing, but when a teenager indulges in eating a forbidden fruit, they will have to stand and face the consequences.
Although it's heart breaking because so many regrets and suffered seriously as a result of it.
I pray and believe that teenagers would be focused on developing themselves and their career, rather than being pressurized into something else.

Thank you for reading and dropping this amazing comment.

I agree with you, child birth or parenting actually depends on once maturity, ability of one to be able to put the needs of the children above his or her's and one should try to have a level of financial to be able to provide for their needs

Absolutely.
