Do you ever wonder why God created families? He could have designed people to be born from cabbages (shows you what era I grew up in), fully grown and ready to go. He could have designed people to be like mice, born in large litters and quick to be on their own. Or He could have designed people to be more like turtles, left by the mother to defend for themselves. But He very intentionally created people to grow inside their mother, to be born small and weak, and to need many years of nurturing from a father and a mother.
As I observe my children's daily interactions with each other, their father, and myself, I can't help but think about God's idea of 'family'. And the more I dig into the topic, the more I find! I feel I could write a whole book about it, if I had the time and space to delve into a project of that size.
But today, I will leave you with just this thought: God gave us children to remind adults to laugh and be joyful. I'm so thankful He gave me five children to keep me laughing!
