I saw a great reminder on Facebook that a dog or cat is not a cute Christmas present. It is a commitment to years of expenses and care. The same can be said about children. A significant number of young couples today are delaying or deciding not to have children because of the costs and the change in their lifestyles. They are well aware that “a baby changes everything.”
My two silly dogs are worth the changes in my life, at least most of the time. I have only gratitude for the joy and privilege of raising two children and now having three grandchildren to spoil. The truth is that “a baby changes everything” for the better and for good!
There is one child whose birth costs us nothing. But that birth gives us everything! We believe that God so loved the world that he GAVE his only son to be born amongst us, to live with us, to be the way, the truth, and the life for us, and to give his life to us.
Isaiah 9: 6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
