Behold, children are a gift of 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.
How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 127:3-5
I am not sure when the Lord turned my heart to having more children. I am only blessed that He did. We would love to have as many as the Lord sees fitting. My son Warren is a blessing and lots of work. I suppose 8 year olds can be that way. After the bad pregnancy the doctor allowed me to have I was scared to have any more. A c-section is a rough surgery, and it took my almost 8 years to recover and become healthy again. This time things have been different. I love being pregnant. What a gift God has given us women. To be able to nurture and grow a precious child of the Most High, and then He allows us to give birth and care for that little one.
We are given a great charge by the Lord. One in which we are to be Godly examples of His character to our children. When we are obedient to the Lord's commands He promises us this from Proverbs 31.
Her children rise up and bless her Proverbs 31:28
How wonderful to have your children bless you. This is simply another wonderful little treasure that God has for Godly mothers. Treasures are things that must be sought. They are precious and above any price put upon them. My favorite line from my favorite movie is, " It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, and the honor of kings to seek it out." The treasures of motherhood are just like that. I believe that God wants us to actively seek theses treasures every second of every day. If they simply laid about strewn on the ground we as humans, flawed, would only take them for granted. When we have to play an active role we appreciate all that the Lord has to offer us much much more. This doesn't only apply to our children. It applies to our walk with God as well. His Word and Truth is to be hidden in our hearts like a beautiful treasure to be shared with those we meet. When we dig deep and search and seek His will we are given treasure upon treasure. What treasure have you left unfound? Hidden away in the sands of everyday chores and stress. Dirty diapers, messy faces, hectic schedules............ Seek His face and you will be amazed how the jewels of God will fill your heart. Don't leave the precious rubies, emeralds and sapphires the Father has in store for you today left concealed in the craziness of life.
May the Great I am bless you greatly today as you seek the abundance He has for you.
And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is his treasure. Isaiah 33:6
My son, if you will receive my words And treasure my commandments within you,
Make your ear attentive to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding;
For if you cry for discernment, Lift your voice for understanding;
If you seek her as silver And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will discern the fear of the LORD And discover the knowledge of God. Proverbs 2: 1-5
My son, keep my words And treasure my commandments within you. Proverbs 7:1
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:21
