I wrote this post almost three years ago and it has recently resurfaced in my mind. I thought I would share it again (slightly edited) just in case you missed it the first time around.

There is SO much that needs to be said on this topic; where does one begin? Here is the gist of his sermon, along with some of my own thoughts. Children are a gift – a special blessing – from the Lord. Upon the birth of Cain, Eve declared: “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.” Genesis 4:1.
