Psalms 127:3 “Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.”‭‭

Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.

Disgruntled or tired parents may give others the “kids ain’t nothing but trouble” speech. Their intentions are to make us think twice before having or raising children. They want to let us know how tiresome and troubling raising children can be. This may be a fact for some, however, the Word of God declares children are a blessing from the Lord. The Word of God also declares the blessing of the Lord makes one rich and adds no sorrow. 

We don’t have to accept what certain parents have to say about parenting. It’s a choice to receive the negativity behind raising children. We can either accept the negativity of disgruntled parents or accept the truth from the Parent of us all.

If God says children are a blessing and His blessings are without sorrow, I choose to believe Him. Who do you believe?
