In our culture we've been raised 2 believe anything more than 2 kids is abnormal; success should b measured by the size of ur house & the cars in ur garage; and u should look like a model in the popular magazines, actors in Hollywood, and if it feels good then go 4 it. It's sad that this has also crept into the church. Most people don't even recognize it. <br /><br />I read the post on KFVS's facebook page last night about the piece they did on kids leaving their faith. I was amazed by some of the comments...I guess I shouldn't have been. People don't value children and family like they should because our culture has done a 'slow fade' away from God. <br /><br />I am so thankful that u guys r going 2 enlarge ur family! I mean, after all...u only have 5 children. The Duggars have way more than we do...we have a lot of catching up 2 do! lol Ur house is huge...some people live in houses where they sleep 10 to one room...if they have a house. We can buy bunk beds! :-) My dad used 2 sleep 3 kids 2 a bed because there were 9 of them...they all turned out great; successful & love the Lord. He has a duplex in Charleston that he rented out 2 the Chinese family who opened the Chinese restaurant here several years ago. They had 10 people in the small 2 bedroom apartment. They saved money for a few years, then bought them a house of their own. Our culture has it all backwards...debt is drowning our family lives! Me, me, me generation. I am so thankful that u r being obedient 2 the Lord! U r SOOO blessed! Can't wait to meet the new addition/blessing!Laryssa-5https://www.blogger.com/profile/00095913594824887405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536802031190874666.post-66448061316276209462010-04-26T12:02:01.515-05:002010-04-26T12:02:01.515-05:00From the sound of it, it's apparent that some ...From the sound of it, it's apparent that some people don't have extra love or time or commitment to give to an orphan. While I believe we are all called to help, we are called in different ways. There is SOMETHING we should all do. Sadly some don't consider helping at all. God speaks our personal story to us. We should all be jumping at the chance to love on the unloved simply because HE LOVES US! Most people don't take time to listen to God. If they did, they'd hear Him telling them to help. Praying she will see God's movement in your life and seek Him.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16681732110006581625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536802031190874666.post-49582245141135574862010-04-26T11:15:31.351-05:002010-04-26T11:15:31.351-05:00i loved this. whatever people around you say, you ...i loved this. whatever people around you say, you are being faithful to James' call in 1:27 to care for the orphan in "her" distress (Lori!!). the Lord is faithful and will equip you for what He has called you to do. i SO look forward to meeting the result of your obedience and God's great grace.glenna marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18348224654818247656noreply@blogger.com
