Children are our future, and God loves the children.
I have three goddaughters - I'm not sure why they trust me, because I have no experience with children - but I try.
My kids are at a point in their lives where I'm a moral compass for them. God help them both.
In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled.
When it comes down to it, I believe that, having made the decision to bring children into the world, I owe it to them to be as present as I can in their daily lives and to try my best to stay alive until they've made it through to adulthood.
