Children: A Blessing? A Burden?

I read the Rainey's comments on children and how they are a blessing to us. We all feel that way from the start, when we first find out we are going to have a child. We are blissfully unaware that it is a lifetime commitment we are undertaking by having a child.

Ours are adults now, and I probably worry as much now as I did about them when they were small. And, yes, I confess I sometimes feel that they are a burden. I realize after reading the comments by the Rainey's that God intended for them to be a blessing to us always, just as our spouses are supposed to be.

Maybe I'll pray for God to show me how I could be a blessing to them today? -- Marthann
