"Lo, children are a heritage of The Lord,and the

fruit of the womb is His reward." Psalms 127:3.

"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God made He him;male and female created He them, and God blessed them and God said unto them, 'be fruitful and muliply and replenish the earth, and subdue it." Genesis 1:27-28

I thought about the first blog entry and decided to add the Scriptures proving how important children are to God. The fact that children are important to God is evidenced by the fact that the word "children" has 5 pages of cross-referenced scripture in Strong's Exhaustive Concordance. The Scriptures talk about the "children of my servants" and the "children of the children" over and over again. And read this blessing: "Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house; thy children like the olive plants round about thy table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord." Psalms 128:3-4,
How many olives does an olive tree have? And what happened in the 20th-21st century of this world that caused women to think that raising children and teaching them to be good, decent, God-fearing humans is not a worthwhile work?And what must we do to change it back to a honorable occupation? Mull on that and please give me feedback. Thanks. /s/gloria
