How many Arrows?
One of my many friends made a comment on one of my posts, it reads:
'Question of the moment: If you were going to war, how many arrows would you want in your quiver? Is the national average of 2.08 enough for you?
"As arrows in the hands of a mighty man, so are children to their fathers. Happy is the man that hath his quiver FULL of them!"Psalm 128I love this quote and got it from a family of 16! That will be us someday! ;-)'
I would love for my quiver to be as full as possible! As many as I can get! If our family were ever to adopt I'd really like to adopt a young deaf black child with some nappy hair. (he he I want those little African Beauties!) Although my husband isn't currently interested in adopting. I am not satisfied with the national average of 2.08. (Random thought: Would a .08 mean a woman who recently became prego?? hehe Makes no sense just round it down or up.) Continuing... In a perfect world I'd like to have 2 more babies but it is ultimately up to the one who is sitting up there. I can wish all I want but He decides. I believe that my wish for 2 more babies will come to pass. I hope and pray for more arrows to be sent my way.
I believe that God can do impossible things for those who believe, like raise a large family through these difficult econimic times. It doesn't matter what it is, He will take care of you! "All things work together for the good to them who love GOD." Roman 8:28 A little word of encouragement for families in dire need in these dire times. Just have FAITH!
Lord Jesus, may you full my quiver full of arrows so that my family may be mighty warriors and weapons that do Your will! Arrows that defend and save others from this world so that they my build up their treasures in heaven.

This is a Blog of my Christian walk as a Homeschooling Housewife. A young mother of 3 rambunctious boy, they are gifts from God. "Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate." Ps 127:3-5
