Welcome
Today’s society tells us that having a large family may not be the best or most “practical” choice. Mothers (and fathers) receive comment after comment from strangers when in out in public, because today, having a brimming brood attracts quite the attention.
“Having a lot of kids is too expensive,” people say.
“But how will you travel?”
“What about college?”
“Don’t you know what causes babies?”
“Boy, you sure do have your hands full.”
Simply put, mothering many is beyond the norm.
But that is not what God thinks.
Having a large family is a bold and beautiful choice that opens our hearts, fills our homes with grace and love, and furthers God’s heart on the earth, here, today.
Moms, you are a gift. You are chosen. You are the hostesses of big, beautiful, crowded tables brimming with laughter and chaos. These tables are epicenters of belonging, sacrifice, forgiveness, and love. They are glimpses of heaven on earth!
