The Blessing of Children

Children are viewed as blessings and gifts in family life, providing a valuable perspective during challenging times. A family counselor emphasized that the essence of parenting revolves around cherishing relationships with children rather than acquiring material possessions. This notion resonated deeply with parents who often feel overwhelmed by societal negativity surrounding raising kids. The focus on children being special and wanted, rather than a burden, fosters a thriving family environment, as illustrated by Greg and his wife who embrace their family of seven children with joy and gratitude.
