I love boys!

I have so many people ask me (even strangers at the store) if I am upset that I have all boys, or if I am going to try again for a girl. I really don't know how to respond to them without going into a lot of detail or being rude. Usually I just try and say that I am so happy with my three sons and I would actually prefer to have another boy if we had more kids, but sometimes I just rudely say "no" and keep walking. It really bothers me when people assume that having sons is a bad thing or that not having a daughter would make any mother sad. I treasure the three, healthy boys that God has given me, and obviously God thinks I must be a good "boy mom" because that is what he has chosen to give me. I thank God every day for the 3 precious gifts that he has given to us!

Children Are A Gift From God
by Sandra Tolson

God sent me three packages

That needed special care

"Take care of these tiny gifts

For they are very rare."

"Watch over them with all your love

And let them feel your touch

Take care of their every need

For you are needed very much."

"These gifts will grow up very fast

As you soon will see

Love them with all your heart

And let them be what they will be."

"When these gifts have fully grown

Look at Heaven up above

Know they exist because of God

And all his precious love."

Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.
Psalm 127:3-5 (New International Version)
