The fruit of the womb is a reward.
~Psalm 127:4
Some people have large families because of religious reasons or cultural reasons. Some people just LOVE lots of kids! For us, it was a calling. It has been our desire from the very beginning of our walk with Christ to follow His leading, and this is where He lead us. Family size is a very personal decision, and not a “rule” to follow.

Shortly after the birth of my second child I adopted a large-family mentality and doing so has been one of the best things I ever did for running my household!

And if you are already a big family, they will help you do what you’re already doing better!
