If there is one area that I am most thankful for God&#8217;s grace and forgiveness it&#8217;s this one&#8230;..in child bearing.  Lately I have found my self wondering what our children would have been like had we not tried to control things for all of those years.  I wonder how many precious arrows we would have in our quiver.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look at these four precious arrows He has given me and I feel a mix of sadness at those we missed out on and honor at what I&#8217;ve been trusted with.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The internet right now is full of debate on abortion\/murder and &#8220;women&#8217;s rights.&#8221; The world views children as a burden&#8230;even those in so called &#8220;christian&#8221; circles. They can&#8217;t wait to send them off to school for someone else to deal with or sit them in front of the television so they can have a break or prevent pregnancy or even kill them because they want their bodies to themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But really children are a blessing. God calls them &#8220;an heritage!&#8221; Scriptures are full of God&#8217;s love for children.  And He chose us&#8230;women&#8230;..to be the vessels in which He would grow and nurture these precious souls!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I look at my, really His, beautiful children and I am humbled and in awe that I was chosen to carry them in my womb and train them up in His ways&#8230;I am nothing compared to Him!  And he chose me!  What an honor and a privilege to be a woman!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Satan has once again done an incredible job of twisting and destroying something that God created so perfectly and beautifully!!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tonight I pray &#8230;I pray for those who are so lost that they can&#8217;t see the miracle of these tiny souls.  I pray for those tiny souls that have been victims of such unspeakable evil. And most of all I praise God for his forgiveness and mercy and grace for my ignorance.  And I hug my babies a little tighter, remembering who they really belong to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Psalms 127 (KJV) \u00b3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.\u2074 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.\u2075 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/2022\/06\/26\/an-heritage\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">An Heritage<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[217,84,71,111,49,197,47,83],"class_list":["post-691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daughters-of-virtue-sisters-in-faith","tag-anheritage","tag-arrows","tag-blessed","tag-godly-woman","tag-grace","tag-lies","tag-pray","tag-trainthemup","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=691"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":693,"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/691\/revisions\/693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/afamilyservingtheking.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
